Eoin Ryan

Ceist:

220 Mr. E. Ryan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the total number of BSE outbreaks to date; the total number of outbreaks since 1 January 1995; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2714/95]

104 cases of BSE have occurred in Ireland since the first case was confirmed in 1989. Of these cases, five have been confirmed, to date, in 1995. It is the Department's policy to depopulate herds in which cases of BSE have been confirmed.
