In licensed export premises, 904,100 sheep were slaughtered, worth £41 million to producers; factory figures were withheld as confidential, while veterinary fees were £243,167 and CBF levy £55,462.
asked the Minister for Agriculture (i) the number of sheep slaughtered in Irish meat plants in 1982 and their value; (ii) the individual number of sheep slaughtered in the various Irish meat factories in 1982; (iii) the deductions made for his Department, CBF levies, etc., and the individual amounts for each levy.
Comment on this
The number of sheep slaughtered in licensed meat export premises in 1982 was 904,100 head. The value of these slaughterings in terms of prices to producers was IR£41 million.
It would not be appropriate for me to disclose individual factories' slaughterings as this information is confidential.
The veterinary inspection fees payable to my Department amounted to £243,167 and £55,462 was payable in respect of CBF levy.
