SLAUGHTERHOUSES
There are no slaughterhouses in the Borough
Practically no slaughtering has taken place in the
Borough since 1939c Only two small private slaughterhouses
have had licences since them One licence was relinquished
in 1954 and the last one in June, 1958.
The Slaughterhouses Act, 1958, required local authorities
to submit reports on slaughterhouse facilities to
the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the
Slaughterhouse Reports (Appointed Day) Order, 1959,
required these reports to be made between November, 1959,
and November, 1960.
