Mr. Cormac Healy:
Yes, accepted, that is cumulative and I will happily go through those figures. From mid-April to mid-May, or perhaps early April to mid-May, one saw a rapid reduction in cattle numbers processed in the country. Generally, the weekly figure is 30,000 or 35,000. It would have been at levels of 35,000 or 37,000 and fell to 25,000 for quite a number of weeks. I am sure those weekly figures will show up there. They are as published, as the Chairman says, by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. There was a significant fall-off.
