Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion
Mr. Paul Savage:
Right, but there could be many differences between a breeder of 30 in one county versus the next county. It is down to the quality of inspections, ensuring that socialisation plans are being adhered to, the cleanliness of the facilities, etc. Breeding establishments are regularly inspected to retain their licences. Inspectors can also turn up unannounced. I would encourage local authorities to spend more time on ensuring that all of these elements are being adhered to.
