Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (11 Dec 2018)

Jackie Cahill: I thank Mr. Sheahan for his presentation. Like the Chairman, I am disappointed that there has been a presentation on TB but that there was no mention of deer and the problems they cause. It seems to be a common theme in the Department that there is no recognition of the fact that deer can be infected with TB. I was recently told that there where post-mortems are carried out on deer, up to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (11 Dec 2018)

Jackie Cahill: It provides information, but I am not happy with Mr. Ryan's answer, with all due respect to him. I can list seven or eight instances in my county where there have been outbreaks of TB in the past year and a half to two years. The vast majority of them are bound in forestry, and the deer are grazing the same land and drinking the same water as the cattle. I just cannot understand the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (11 Dec 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (11 Dec 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (11 Dec 2018)

Jackie Cahill: With respect, it is about the salvage value of the animal, not its value.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (11 Dec 2018)

Jackie Cahill: With respect, the full value of the animal is not compensated for, which would be the live valuation. If one has a good dairy cow on her second lactation and is unfortunate enough to have her go down in September or October, one will definitely not receive the full value of that animal.

Its mandate has worked very well. I welcome the lifting of the moratorium on recruitment. That is long overdue. With respect, the age of advisers and that of the management structure was increasing and it is vital...
