Joe Flaherty (Fianna Fail)

I appreciate it puts an additional cost on people, but that is probably why we are behind the UK on this. That is an important first step for us and then the legislation afterwards. If you have to pay for insurance for you dog, you are certainly then going to report it to An Garda when it is stolen. I also have an observation in defence of Ballinasloe. That would not be a cover for any nefarious activities. I appreciate everything is sold there, but I would say the authorities are proactive. I have been going since I was a small, fat child and I have seen that consistently.
