Mr. Francie Gorman:

In response to Deputy Flaherty's question earlier, we will try to get a handle on the acreage involved in Clare if we can and get back to the committee on it.

The issue about the review is best practice should dictate that that would be an ongoing practice within the Department anyway.

The Department should be doing it either way. All we look for is that there are proper biosecurity measures in place and that a proper inspection regime is put in place. The Department is very good at inspecting in various other ways, to be fair. We want the funding and the proper protocols to be put in place. That should be an ongoing practice. That should be best practice in the Department anyway.
