The Department operates the animal identification and movement system, AIMS. Is there any requirement under legislation for this animal data to be visible to the proprietors or owners of beef factories? I cannot understand it. I know the point of the register. I understand it attracts the age and breed and so on - I am from rural Ireland originally, although I am a Dublin Deputy - but is there any requirement? Is it necessary for factories to see that data?
