Proposed Legislation. (27 Jun 2006)

Is the Minister aware that Irish farmers receive €7 less per head of lamb than farmers in the United Kingdom and €16 less per head than farmers in France? The movement of lambs from the UK to the Republic via Northern Ireland is a cause of...

EU Regulations. (27 Jun 2006)

Denis Naughten: I am aware it is difficult to address this issue in the context of the current political vacuum in the North. We would all welcome a true all-Ireland animal health regime as it would address the concerns arising in this area. While I accept that the paperwork may be in order, it is critically important that checks and balances are introduced to ensure proper procedures operate for lambs being...
