108 Mr. J. Fahey asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the up-to-date position regarding the application by a person (details supplied) in County Waterford concerning his entitlement to compensation for losses as a result of TB.

I am informed by the director of ERAD that two animals sent for slaughter by the herdowner in June 1991 had positive TB lesions. The herdowner should contact his district veterinary office where the procedure for application for ex-gratia payments which may fall due in respect of these animals, will be outlined.
