Martin Heydon (Kildare South, Fine Gael)

We have research going on.

Hopefully, that research will give us a result at some stage in the medium term rather than the short term. We are invested in that research, as is Britain and we will work with the British on that. Vaccination is not the answer for us because it will impact our trade. We cannot trade animals where we cannot prove they do not have TB. We are in complete agreement on the challenges of TB. I do not agree on everything the Senator said. There is a responsibility on me, with the new set of measures and reset that I bring in, to ensure I do not leave a gap for this infection to seep through.
