594. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine whether any geographical data is held on the current vaccinated microchipped badgers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24327/23]

All badgers that are vaccinated and microchipped by my Department as part of the Wildlife programme are recorded on a piece of dedicated software.

Whilst this piece of software has GIS capabilities, the geographical data is limited to the GPS co-ordinates of all main badger setts and sub setts that have been identified as part of the Wildlife programme.
