In response to the Deputy’s question I would like to draw his attention to the data profiling of the national herd which is publically available on my Department’s website in the form of detailed annual reports. These reports are available from 2002 onwards and can be accessed at: https://www.agriculture.gov.ie/animalhealthwelfare/animalidentificationmovement/cattle/
These annual reports detail the national herd by age profile and breed type (Chapter 4) and also provide details of live exports by age and breed type (Chapter 3 - section 6).
