Martin Kenny: I asked the question because we are all aware of the experience with Covid and how quickly a number of vaccines were developed when backs were to the wall. If the same level or even a percentage of that level of dedication was put into finding a solution here, we could be in a different place. There is another point I want to tease out with Dr. Barrett a little. He mentioned how it is...

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: There are 9.89 million of them per year; that is a lot. I am not a conspiracy theorist or anything but it seems to me that from 1954 to now, we could not solve it. We did all that stuff with other bacteria like chickenpox and everything else but we cannot seem to get a vaccine in that length of time. Dr. Barrett spoke about the badgers. How is that detail gathered? Is there a specific...

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?

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