An application was received in my Department on 3 March 2015 from the persons concerned for the re-activation of a dormant herdnumber and for the transfer of that number to the parties concerned. Staff in my Department have been liaising with the applicants on this matter on an ongoing basis. Additional required documentation was received from the applicants on 6 May. The inspection of the holding, which was to take place on 6 May, was deferred to allow for the installation of a cattle crush. That inspection was completed on 19 May and the application has been approved in recent days.
