2565. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the numerical, scientific and editorial verification carried out before the Wildlife Unit End of Year Report for 2025 that was approved for publication; whether further errors have since been identified; and whether his Department will publish an amended report clearly identifying all corrections. [56543/26]

The Wildlife Report compiled by my Department has stated that there was 7,625 badger captures in the vaccine area in 2025. This is the correct figure. The figure of 8,123 is the number of badger captures that were recorded in vaccine areas for 2024. Table 4 in the report states the correct figures of badger captures for 2024 and 2025.

For the purposes of clarity the figure for 2024 will be removed from the body of the text.
