asked the Minister for Agriculture the progress being made in resolving the AI technician dispute which is causing such great inconvenience to the farming community in south-west Donegal.
Written Answers. - AI Technicians' Dispute.
512.
I presume the dispute to which the Deputy refers is that between the management of the North Western Cattle Breeding Society Limited and its AI operators. I understand that an agreed arbitrator has been examining the matter and has met both parties on a number of occasions recently. It is hoped that the arbitrator's findings will be made available in the near future and that the dispute will then be resolved.
