210 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food further to Parliamentary Question No. 360 of 2 October 2007, the reason the Irish definition of a restricted holding under article 12 of the Bovine Tuberculosis (Attestation of the State and General Provisions) Order 1989 (S.I. No. 308 of 1989) fail to make a distinction between the suspension of the official health status and the actual withdrawal of the official health status for TB and brucellosis purposes as required by Council directive 64/432/EEC annex A thereof; the further reason the DVO waited until January 2007 to arrange to carry out the herd tests despite the herd owners agreement and reminder letters to the DVO calling upon her Department to ensure the tests were carried out; the location where is it specifically required as a matter of EC or community law, that a second clear test is required having regard to the herds official health history which has been free of TB and brucellosis for at least six years including the most recent clear herd tests completed on 5 January 2007; the reason it appears that the DVO was only aware of the test results report in January 2007 but not aware until end of July 2007 that the same veterinary inspector, who carried out the tests at the directions of her Department, had also signed and endorsed all the identity cards surrendered to them certifying that each animal had passed the test and the herd as far as they were concerned was free of TB and brucellosis, thus satisfying the 12 month testing requirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
