Question 235: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if her Department has made projections of future meat and bone meal production levels in the State for each of the next five years with a breakdown under each category; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6960/08]

My Department has not made projections for the future production of meat and bone meal (MBM) in the State. In 2007 150,516 tonnes of MBM were produced. (97,124 tonnes of Category 1 and 53,392 tonnes of Category 3 MBM).
We do not expect any major change on the current production levels in the next 5 years.
