Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Each year, their contribution is growing. It is in the double million figures. It is a very significant event for any family farm to end up with TB. There is a stigma attached to it even still. We must look at this in the round.

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: It is like anything; Mr. Gleeson will be here this time next year and I will be asking how it is going. I suppose we will see how it goes.
