Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)

I fully appreciate the Minister's comments and accept his reference to making the system too unwieldy. If there was an issue in every county on a particular day and everything had to go through the Minister, I appreciate it would take more time to deal with it. The authorised officers will be professional staff, but they can be members of An Garda Síochána and Customs officers. In this case, they will not have the knowledge or expertise to address specific agriculture queries, but I assume they will work with a veterinarian or a veterinary nurse. Will the Minister attach to the legislation a list of the terms and conditions the officers can apply? This would help authorised officers also. I am not trying to confine the terms and conditions they can apply where there is a breach. Would it be appropriate to have prescriptive terms and conditions attached to the legislation in order that where an authorised officer has a query, he or she could deal with it using black and white terms and conditions? The farming organisations and farmers in general would then also be well aware of the consequences of a breach. The expression "such terms and conditions as they may consider appropriate" is vague.
