I propose to take Questions Nos. 979 and 980 together.

Veterinary inspectors from my Department have concluded after viewing the video referred to by the Deputy that a breach of the licence conditions may have occurred in respect of the euthanasia procedures. The farm owner has been interviewed and the matter is being pursued.
