297 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will have investigations made into the delay in issuing replacement cattle identity tags; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9651/97]
The replacement of cattle identity tags is a matter between the herdowner and Mullinahone co-op. Herdowners receive a replacement tag order form in each box of tags they receive. Where a herdowner correctly completes the replacement tag order form and includes the appropriate amount due, replacement tags are issued within a short period.
