Michael Moynihan (Cork North West, Fianna Fail)

Not only have I seen cattle being rounded up and put in a crush, I have seen entire herds being rounded up and being crushed on the lorry because of TB. I know at first hand exactly what the Minister of State is talking about. If a farmer has been tested in late November-early December and has not had a history of TB or of animals being brought in without having had all the tests and has been clear for 15 to 20 years, because of the four month rule and a minor outbreak contiguous to him, his herd must be tested. A little bit of sense is needed.
