Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis: Discussion
Mr. Colm Forde:
He can. Both parties have the ability to reject either the first or second valuation. A farmer can also reject the second valuation and request that it go to arbitration. Out of the 23,000 reactors we had last year, a very small number went to arbitration. We are talking about a very small number of cases. The Deputy said earlier that those arbitration hearings are not happening. I can confirm that they are occurring virtually so they have gone ahead.
