156 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a full licence for a slaughter house will be granted to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The firm in question was issued with a permit, valid for six months, under the Abattoirs Act, 1988. An inspection of the abattoir premises will take place as soon as possible to determine whether a licence will be issued or, if the premises have not reached licensing standard, whether a further permit would be warranted.
