1162. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine with the increasing volume of fallen animals on farms and the lack of places to render the carcases, if he will commit to direct engagement with the rendering plants and knackeries to resolve this dispute which is escalating to a serious health hazard on farms; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Category 1 rendering plants were reopened to animal collectors from Friday the 15thDecember, and as a result a full animal collection service has been restored to farmers.
From a review of initial data, it would appear that the backlogs in fallen animal collections from farms has been cleared at this stage.
