Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Review of Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010: Dogs Trust Ireland

Mr. Conor Brennan:

I do not have a strong opinion of exactly where this matter sits. I completely agree that it is siloed in pieces. The DBE Act and Control of Dogs Act is are with the Department of Rural and Community Development, while the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine deals with the Animal Health and Welfare Act and online sales. This matter is really nearly split away and I do not have a strong opinion on where it sits. Our opinion is that it would be better if one Department considered this matter in the round.
