The trading status of the herd belonging to the person concerned was suspended on 10 March 2014 pending the resolution of a number of discrepancies which were identified in the context of a TB test carried out in his holding on 10 February 2014.
Following examination of these discrepancies by the local District Veterinary Office in consultation with the keeper, my Department is now in a position to lift the herd suspension and the DVO notified the keeper to this effect on 24 March 2014.
