Mr. Cormac Healy:

-----slaughtering figures, as reported by the Department in early March probably would have been in the region of 35,000 to 70,000 head per week across the country. Those figures dropped rapidly and, I think, reached approximately 25,000 head per week for quite a number of weeks before starting to increase again. I am not sure which figures the Chairman has, but those are the Department's weekly cattle slaughtering figures.
