Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Some of the issues I was going to raise have already been dealt with. Dr. May has worked with the Government and advised it in the past. What degree of consultation and engagement has she had with the Department on the valid issues she is raising. The Oireachtas collectively wants to ensure the greyhound industry gets a clean bill of health, that we reform it and restore confidence in it for many reasons, and whatever legislation is introduced at the end of this process needs to achieve this goal. Finding the best way to do this will be very important. Has Dr. May engaged with the Department? What was its response to the issues she has raised? Is today the first chance she has had to engage in the process?
