Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 March 2004
114 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a herd number has not been granted to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8322/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department cannot grant a herd number to the person indicated because he has declared that he has no cattle at present and does not intend to purchase any cattle until 2006. As this person has a flock of sheep, he has applied under the national sheep identification scheme and has now been registered as a flock owner by my Department's district veterinary office in Galway.
