Austin Deasy
Question:100 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if his attention has been drawn to the fact that following the discovery of one dead and one dying badger on lands at Dunhill/Fenor, County Waterford, both of which were found to be infected with Bovine TB, his Department refused to carry out herd tests in the area; if he will have the matter investigated in view of the fact that this particular area has a notoriously high incidence of the Bovine TB disease; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
