My Department has been advised by the Marine Institute that the National Risk Assessment Committee assists the Institute with decision making in relation to potential eradication measures in the event of the detection of a non-exotic disease or a disease for which Ireland has been granted national measures in the context of Council Directive 2006/88/EC. Amoebic Gill Disease, Pancreas Disease and Cardiomyopathy Syndrome are not listed in this Directive and are therefore not considered by this Committee.
