All animals acquired under the purchase for destruction scheme operated by my Department in 2001 were rendered and the resultant meat and bone meal and tallow incinerated. Hides from these animals were processed at tanneries in Ireland. All disposal activities were controlled strictly in accordance with the relevant EU regulations.
