The Departments of Rural and Community Development and Agriculture, Food and the Marine and local authorities are all involved in this area to some extent. Are the limitations of their remits clear? In addition, the Department of Rural and Community Development stated that it was in contact with the Department for Agriculture, Food and the Marine about transferring some responsibilities in this area, namely the sale, supply and advertising of pet animals. What responsibilities is the Department considering transferring? What would be the benefit of that?
