Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Agricultural Schemes, Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis and Compensation: Discussion
Dr. Damien Barrett:
We are talking about phase 1 of this. This regulation was brought in under the animal health legislation. The original proposal was for this regulation to be for a 30-day test. We successfully increased that to a six-month test, so the herd test will, in effect, last for six months. We are implementing this on a phased basis. It will apply in the first instance to bulls over 36 months of age and all adult cows. We do not have plans-----
