Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 November 2017
430. Deputy Eugene Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a person (details supplied) has not received a herd number after they lodged the relevant application and documentation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48712/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for a herd number was received from the person named in the Regional Veterinary Office on 15 March 2017. Contact could not be made at the time with the applicant to arrange a farm inspection to check compliance with the requirements for the granting of a herd number. This inspection has recently been carried out and the facilities on the farm currently do not meet the requirements. My Department has been in contact with the applicant and a further inspection will be arranged when the facilities meet the requirements.
