I do not want to keep going over things that were already said earlier. TB is a serious issue. It is spreading rapidly. The Minister and his Department have looked into it and have plans. What can we do to curtail TB and, I hope, clean it out completely? I am aware of people who had their whole herds cleaned out completely unfortunately. There have been other discussions about TB, what it is costing families and the pressure it is putting on them. Is there a plan for the future to cut it out or curtail it and start bringing back down the number of animals affected by TB?
