I questioned the effectiveness of TB eradication, with €100m spent in 2024 and costs rising to over €120m in 2025. Despite the scale of spending, the Department could not point to a single dominant cause instead citing a mix of herd expansion, animal movement, wildlife, and testing issues. Farmers are frustrated that costs keep rising while certainty on causes and outcomes remains unclear, particularly in hard-hit areas like East Galway. | Albert Dolan TD
