I forgot to ask if the Department has noted an increase in the number of cases in some coastal districts. The map supplied is very broad. I am referring to areas like Courtmacsherry and Barryroe, which are within three miles of the sea and which seem to have a very high incidence of TB. Is it avian-based rather than being related to the badger population?
