407 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food further to Parliamentary Question No. 359 of 2 October 2007 on the EC requirement that the test sites on animals necks must be cleansed, if she will provide details or information as to the number of her authorised officers actually cleanse the animals necks immediately before the injection of the tuberculin; the reason it is that the Bovine Tuberculosis (Attestation of the State and General Provisions) Order 1989 S.I. No. 308 of 1989 under article 6(1)( f ) thereof only legally requires that the test sites be clipped but fails to make legal provision for the cleansing as well; if she has noted that the actual text of article 6(1)( f ) provides that each site at which tuberculin is injected shall immediately before the injection of the tuberculin, be closely clipped over an area which is not less than that enclosed by a circle of 2.5 centimetres diameter; if, in view of the fact that there appears to be no Irish statutory requirement for the authorised officers to actually cleanse the necks, she will outline the actions which she will take to make it a legal requirement and thereby ensure compliance with the relevant community law requirements; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
