One of the great benefits of the situation is that it was announced by the Department as a suspected case of BSE right from the beginning and there was not a rumour machine. The information was made known. That proves the processes are in place to pick up any issue that will arise, which is a good thing.

Have the results of the second test come back? I presume that will be the next stage of information, and following that the epidemiological studies will be carried out and over time we might get more clarity on the possible cause. Has the second test proved positive or when will we be likely to get the information?
