- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine TB: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Nov 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine TB: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Nov 2024)
Johnny Mythen: I ask Dr. Barrett to explain a point to me as I do not really understand it. The report states 78% of the economic benefits of the bovine TB eradication programme relate to private goods while 22% accrues to public goods. Could Dr. Barrett explain what that means?
