Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine

9:00 am

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

It is mostly with regard to TB but it also covers other things. We still test fallen animals over 48 months for BSE. We test a random selection of sheep for scrapie because we are required to do it. There is a variety of other costs. The cost specifically of the brucellosis and TB scheme is €36.46 million. The Deputy mentioned a receipt from levies of almost €6 million. That is the breakdown.
