Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 61 and 70 together.

I can confirm that, as part of an investigation into movements of sheep, officers from my Department have visited a number of farms and slaughtering establishments. The information that has been gathered as a result of these visits is being examined, and the investigation is continuing. In the circumstances it would be inappropriate to comment further pending the outcome of the investigation.

Question No. 62 answered with Question No. 45.
