Questions remain on Ireland's proposed mink cull

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control established that human-to-mink and mink-to-human transmission of Covid-19 can occur.

The Attorney General has been called in to advise on a recommendation that Ireland’s entire 150,000-plus mink herd be slaughtered.

The Department of Agriculture recommendation last month was made after advice from the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan.
