Dr. June Fanning:

There have been a number of slight increases lately although as the Secretary General has said, our levels are very low relative to historical levels. The programme has been a success in that regard. The expansion of the dairy herd post-2015 has meant larger herds and fragmented herds and these feed into a higher risk for TB breakdown. We have specific measures that are targeting those herds. It is a very complex disease in that it is multifactorial, with a number of different risk factors. Obviously wildlife plays a role. There is also residual infection because the test is not 100% effective. It is not like the Covid PCR test-----
