Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

TB Eradication Programme: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Conor O'Mahony:

The main issue in relation to vaccination is we export so much product in dairy and beef to the EU and third countries. It is an export requirement for us to be able to certify the TB status of animals. It will still be a barrier, unless importing nations decide to allow products from animals that have been vaccinated. Even the progress of the vaccination only brings us on a certain journey. The Deputy would have to roll in behind the whole trade discussion on that point.
