254 Mr. Crowley asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if blue cards can be returned or a second TB reactor test arranged for a person (details supplied) in County Cork as a matter of urgency. [5618/96]

The herd in question is currently restricted and passed one reactor retest on 23 February 1996. A second reactor retest is scheduled for 5 April 1996 and if that test is also clear the herd will be considered for derestriction.
