Bovine Diseases.
4:00 pm
James Breen (Clare, Independent)
Given the concerns raised by Deputy Johnny Brady yesterday on the MRSA superbug being passed on by veterinarians to the beef cattle herd, what is the danger involved? What precautions will the Minister take to ensure that this deadly disease is not passed on to the food chain by the veterinarians carrying the MRSA superbug? It is a dangerous and serious disease. If it reaches humans through the food chain, it will be more serious than the BSE crisis.
