I thank the witnesses for coming to the session this evening. As they will be aware, there has been a lot of media attention on this issue. The two points I would like them to consider going forward are public liability insurance for dogs, which is essential, and being able to identify dogs. Those are the two issues the witnesses should take from the committee this evening that I hope will get the issues under control.

That concludes our discussion on dangerous dog breeds and sheep worrying.

The Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine will meet at 5.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 8 February 2023 to examine the Revised Estimates for 2023 in respect of Vote 30 and to consider Committee Stage of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022.
