Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Eradication of Bovine TB: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Dr. Damien Barrett:

We try to adopt a pragmatic approach in those scenarios because there is no point in having heifers calf down where there is no facilities to calve or milk them. In that scenario we would restrict both herds, which would have to get two clear tests to become de-restricted. We want to avoid animal welfare situations like that.
