This is not good for the equine sector. I hope it does not have economic effects on the sector in future, given that public finances in the region of €70 million a year go to the industry. This is an issue we must raise with the Department. We will have another chance to do that next week.

No. R2696 is from Ms Hanagh Byrne, private secretary to the Secretary General of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Mr. Brendan Gleeson. It is dated 25 June 2024, and it provides correspondence to the committee on the bovine tuberculosis programme updates. It is proposed to note and publish this item of correspondence and to flag the bovine TB programme as an area of interest for our meeting with the Department next week. Is that agreed? Agreed. Does Deputy Murphy want to come in on that?
