Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2017
954. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the Marine Institute with the assistance of the national risk assessment committee has addressed the presence of amoebic gill disease, pancreatic disease and cardiomyopathy; and if it was determined that immediate eradication is required. [46833/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy 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.
