Written answers

The presence of some herd discrepancies on the holding necessitated the restriction of the holding.

Since the death of the herd owner, no application has been made to the local Department office to have a new keeper assigned to this holding.

Staff in the local Department Veterinary Office will contact the family concerned with a view to progressing the assignment of a new keeper to the holding. Following this process the new keeper should liaise with the local office with a view to resolving the discrepancies that will enable the restriction on the holding to be lifted.
