Given the exposé in the RTÉ "Prime Time Investigates" report, people would question an industry that allows such cruelty to animals. I am not suggesting Bord na gCon allowed it but whether Bord na gCon was aware it was taking place. If the board was not aware it was taking place, that raises even more questions. Certainly, people saw that Bord na gCon took no action to prevent it or stop it. Given all that, people would question whether such an industry should continue to receive State funding. Does Mr. Dollard accept that?
