That is very important and this is the only way I believe we can teach these fellas a lesson. Framers should have cameras up as well. I know it costs farmers money to do this but if a farmer is lambing sheep he should have cameras up. As Dan Michael Muldoon once said, shoot at sight. We know that when these dogs taste blood at all they are never satisfied until they go back for more. It is not about chasing sheep it is about the taste of blood. We will raise what we can for the witnesses through parliamentary questions and in different ways and we appreciate their horror at what is happening. It is happening all around me, in Kilgarvan, Kenmare, Sneem and any place that a dog can meet you in the flesh, it has happened. It is a very serious issue and we are very concerned about it. We are glad the witnesses came to the committee. I know all of the members have different ideas but I believe that with the walkways and all of these things coming on stream now, sheep will be more exposed.
