369. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the way in which alleged animal discrepancies as identified during recent tuberculosis and brucellosis tests in the case of a person (details supplied) can be resolved in view of the fact that they have no knowledge of the way in which the discrepancies might have occurred; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A recent TB test carried out in this herd identified some discrepancies between the animals presented for the test and the animals listed on the AIM profile for the herd. As a result of these findings, it was necessary to restrict the herd.

The local Regional Veterinary Office is currently in contact with the herd keeper with a view to resolving these discrepancies.
