Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 November 2018
189. Deputy Pat Deering asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of livestock nationally in each of the past ten years, by dairy herd, beef herd and calves, that is, live calves exported; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48440/18]
View answerIn response to the Deputy’s question I would like to draw his attention to the data profiling of the national herd which is publically available on my Department’s website in the form of detailed annual reports. These reports are available from 2002 onwards and can be accessed at: https://www.agriculture.gov.ie/animalhealthwelfare/animalidentificationmovement/cattle/
These annual reports detail the national herd by age profile and breed type (Chapter 4) and also provide details of live exports by age and breed type (Chapter 3 - section 6).
