Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

I absolutely accept what the Deputy is saying, but we are now in a position where we are engaged in an investigation. We have to take this step by step and do everything correctly. These things are not simple. I say that in the context of the movement of those animals and what is happening now, step by step. There might be demands for us to do things now that might prejudice our overall objective.
