DEAD ANIMALS cannot be buried on farms except in exceptional circumstances and only under licence, according to the Minister for Agriculture. Brendan Smith was responding yesterday to calls from the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) to allow farmers to deliver their animals to rendering plants, hunts and kennels and to allow burials in remote areas designated for the purpose.
