Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

-----and the High Court found against him.

Regarding the delay, to which the Deputy referred, between when our officers originally went on the farm and when the animals were finally slaughtered, a lot of it related to those legal issues that were going on. Also, in that period a discussion was going on with the farmer about how to deal with this.
