Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food
TB Eradication Programme: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Conor O'Mahony:
Until those measures are fully agreed and the Minister lays them out, it will not be possible to put a timeline on them because the final decisions have not been made. It is very much intended, however, that these measures will be implemented. As the Senator said himself, time is critical and of the essence here. It is not about launching a series of measures and then not having a plan behind them. It is very much envisaged, though, that once these measures are fully agreed, the timeline behind them will be put in place as soon as is practical. This will require some IT work in the Department, but it will be treated as a priority.
