Dr. David McGrath:

When the Deputy says nobody hears about it, nobody in the public hears about it. Until recently the sample would go to Limerick and we would never know whether that sample was positive or negative. It is only for the past 18 months or 15 months that if a sample is positive, it is published on the IGB website under an adverse analytical finding. Prior to that, it did not have to be published. In fact, the control committee under its own rules only had to publish a positive finding as it saw fit; that was what was in its determinations. Even if it went to the control committee it did not have to be published. Publishing the adverse analytical findings is a welcome change and the control committee findings are also to be published.
