Is the Minister satisfied with the serum used for the testing process? My experience is that some cattle sent to the factory as reactors were found on examination not to have any lesions. There is something radically wrong with the testing process and the Minister should carry out a full scale inquiry into the testing procedure.

Has the Deputy something to offer?

I have. I have more experience in that field than the Minister.

I am asking the Deputy a serious question.

The Minister has been in office for 12 months and he has not done anything about this problem.

I asked the Deputy if he had something to offer because I have not been told that there is an alternative serum.

The Minister does not have anything to offer.

If the Minister wants advice he should contact the officials of his Department about the serum.

Has the Deputy something to suggest?

Yes.

The Deputy should resume his seat and the Minister should answer the next question.
