Text

I thank the Minister for his response. Minister, at a recent budget briefing, it was indicated to the Committee that TB reactors in cattle will cost in the region of £46·5 million in this financial year. I believe that that is in the region of a £10 million or £10·5 million shortfall. How does the Department propose to bridge that gap?
