I have one last query regarding the export of dogs and the number of breeders. Has Bord na gCon conducted an assessment on how the breeders are affected by the Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010, including the 15 week control before a pup can be exported, the microchipping and everything else? Has an impact analysis been done in regard to that? Is that what is driving breeders out, along with everything else? Are they getting value for the dogs that they export or is the export market still there?
