Written Answers. - Cattle and Sheep Mortality Figures.

197. Mr. Noonan (Limerick West): asked the Minister for Agriculture if he [1037] will indicate in the case of areas covered by the programme for western development in respect of the months January to May, 1986 the number of cattle and sheep which died; and the way in which these numbers compare with cattle and sheep mortality in these areas in years when supplies and quality of fodder were normal.

Minister for Agriculture (Mr. Deasy): I am unable to provide the figures sought by the Deputy as such statistics are not compiled by or otherwise available in my Department.
