Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion

Mr. Paul Savage:

Our strategy was to get the first database going. That was successful. I believe that a second database is at an advanced stage in what it is doing. Once we are half-way there, we will issue databases a mandate and tell them that they have six months or the like or we will cut them off. We first want to make sure that the system works and can be rolled out and that people have enough time.
