Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Greyhound Industry Bill 2017: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

Head 3 is again a standard provision. We are simply changing or updating the name of the Minister and we are updating the definition of "veterinary practitioner" to match the definition in other legislation. If in the future we agree on the change of name, we may need to insert a definition of "the board" here also. We can have a discussion on that when the time comes.
