- Bovine Diseases. (4 Oct 2005)
Johnny Brady: As I have not been promoted yet, I cannot answer Deputy Breen's question. Does the Minister see a change arising in the practice of culling entire herds affected by BSE?

Is a change likely in that area?

It is very unfair, particularly where the landowners are...

We discussed this issue with the relevant Spanish ministry and ascertained that the lack of...

Johnny Brady: I also welcome the opportunity to speak on this issue which is of grave importance to Ireland. The proposals being considered by the WTO in the lead-up to the Hong Kong meeting in December, including those of the EU's, would devastate Irish farmers' incomes. Furthermore, they would result in all farm enterprises, excluding the decoupled payments, operating at a loss. The result would be an...
