Mr. Shane Fitzgerald:

I do not sit on the forum so I do not have detailed knowledge of the issue. As such, Mr. Keane would probably have to answer the Deputy's question. From what I do know, Scotland is a place close by that has managed to eradicate TB. That is probably down to its wildlife control. I am not sure what Mr. Keane spoke about but the science has to be followed with regard to wildlife and vaccination programmes. That will be the key thing we can do in this country. It is probably hard to compare Ireland with any other country. New Zealand is probably similar as it also has a grass-based model and animals are outdoors all year around. Scotland is probably a similar enough country that could be looked at to see exactly what it did. I imagine it is based on science, as well. I know that-----
