Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Greyhound Industry Bill 2017: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

In any event, it is put beyond any doubt here that samples can be taken anywhere. When we come to authorised officers, we will talk through this. We have given them very extensive powers to the extent that I imagine there might be some resistance to some of the measures we propose. We will talk through the matter in detail when we get to the relevant provisions.
