Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

The case arose because we test all animals over 48 months that die on a farm. That is what happened in this case. There was an over 48 month animal - a "fallen animal" is the expression in the business. We tested it. We found BSE on the initial results. The situation is that we are awaiting two confirmatory tests, but I think they will be in within the next week or so. Also, very importantly, we are undertaking a full epidemiological examination of the case and that might take some time.
