Pat O'Neill (Fine Gael)

I will conclude. I would like the Minister to come to the House to explain why this was introduced. What documentation or statistics exist to back up this up? It will have a major impact especially at the fall of the year with the weanling trade. A person, whose neighbour's herd has an outbreak with two or more animals down, cannot sell his or her weanlings, which is ludicrous. Has this requirement been introduced as a way of providing jobs for the boys? I want the Leader to invite the Minister to come to the House to explain this change, which will have significant impact on the cattle trade - particularly the weanling trade and also the pure-bred trade.
