I propose to take Questions Nos. 717 to 724, inclusive, together.

The following table provides the number of dairy herds in each of the counties of Clare, Cork, Limerick and Kerry for the year 2018, as provided by my Department's Animal Health Computer System. Similar data is not available for 2008.

Further information on farm structures is available from the Central Statistics Office, particularly the CSO Farm Structures Survey 2016, which was published earlier this year, and is available at the following https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-fss/farmstructuresurvey2016.
