I know TB has been dealt with extensively. EU funding for this area has reduced on a year-on-year basis. The Minister mentioned that our test results last year pointed in the right direction for the first time in a number of years. Will that have an impact on EU funding? Will we be able draw down funds or will the Minister make the case to draw down additional income supports from the EU for the TB eradication programme?
