Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I am informed by my Officials that it is not possible to provide the information sought within the short timeframe available given that research will have to be undertaken before a definitive reply can issue. I am assured however that my Department will reply to the Deputy within the next two weeks.
