In view of the number of small cattle turned down because of brucellosis the amount paid is not sufficient. It is sufficient for strong cattle but it is not for small cattle. I know a farmer who lost five out of his ten cattle and he got less than £400 in grant from the Department.

I am sorry, Deputy Brennan, the question on the Order Paper is about research and not about compensation for reactors.

I would like to be helpful to the Deputy and I will examine the point he raised.

That farmer could have got £2,000 for those five young cattle but when they were turned down he got less than £400. This small farmer cannot afford that, so I would be grateful if the Minister would do something.

That is a problem I get frequently in my constituency.
