Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
1082. Deputy Martin Kenny asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of cases of mycoplasma bovis that have been brought to the attention of his Department for each year since 2007, by county; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13775/17]
View answerMy Department has readily available data from its Laboratory Information Management System going back to 2010 and this is presented in tabular form.
This data shows a steady increase in the number of recorded diagnoses of Mycoplasma bovis infection in cattle presented to the Department's Veterinary Laboratory Service for post mortem examination between 2010 to 2016, the last full year for which we have data.
