Andrew Doyle (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I wish to make a comment about TB. As you know, I met the UK Secretary of State, Mr. Paterson, in Roundwood. There are hot spots. We need to concentrate resources and examine the primary sources, which may not be the original sources. The Minister is well aware of the issue of deer in the uplands of Wicklow. We should concentrate on that. The Department is keen to proceed. I urge those responsible in the Department to continue to work with other relevant Departments to try to resolve the issue, because the figures are coming down everywhere but there are places where the statistics are stubborn and will not budge.
