I propose to take Questions Nos. 143 and 144 together.
My Department's records indicate that between 2002 and 2006 a total of 14 livestock marts ceased trading in Cork, Donegal, Kildare, Laois, Mayo, Tipperary, Westmeath and Wicklow. During the same period one livestock mart commenced trading in Roscommon.
