Mr. Conor O'Mahony:

We are taking out about 6,000 a year. Since 2019, we have started capturing significant number of badgers for vaccination. Any increase in the population of badgers is associated with increased vaccination within that population. The ideal goal is to have a healthy wildlife population as well. It is not a question that there are not enough resources put into the wildlife programme. Our resources have almost doubled in the past couple of years.
