Vol. 193 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Incidence of Bovine Tuberculosis.

13.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will quote the most recent figures available on the incidence of bovine tuberculosis in the eradication areas.

I presume that the Deputy is referring to the present Clearance Areas.

The figures are 0.39 per cent. in the five counties where clearance measures commenced on 1st March, 1961, and 4.15 per cent. in the other four counties in which such measures commenced on 1st August, 1961.

Could the Minister say what is the total cost to the latest available date?

I could not, without notice.
