77. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the current status of an investigation being undertaken by his Department (details supplied). [52273/26]

Dr Sean Brady was appointed as independent chairperson of this review in 2025, and he is engaging directly with the herdowner to progress this review.

As this review is independent of my Department, it is not possible for me to provide a timeframe for completion.

A decision on publication will be made, on receipt of the final report, in consultation with the herd owner and the independent reviewer.
