It is not possible to provide the information requested by the Deputy in the required time. The information is currently being compiled and I will forward it to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51.
The Minister’s earlier reply stated that it was not possible to provide the information requested by the Deputy in the required time, and he would arrange for a reply to be forwarded directly to you as soon as it was available. I now wish to advise you that the information requested is set out in the attached table. These are schemes outside of the normal statutory compensation under the Disease of Animal Act.
