Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act Minute Book Scope and Content:

Minutes of meetings of the board acting as a local authority under the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Acts (1878, 1894, 1896). Meetings were generally held weekly. At meetings, notices, reports, and letters from veterinary inspectors were read, as were communications from the Government’s Veterinary Department, which had overall responsibility for the Animal Acts. Contagious diseases arising included pleura-pneumonia, foot and mouth disease, sheep-scab, and rabies. The local authority had the power to declare an infected place and to take steps to slaughter diseased animals or sequester diseased herds. Markets and fairs were monitored, and herds were inspected regularly. Veterinary Department inspectors also conducted inspections. Following the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898, this work became the responsibility of the Rural District Council.
