Dr. Eoin Ryan:

I do not think the regulation specifies national penalties, but the penalties for breaching the Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010 are specified under that Act, which itself falls under the remit of the Department of Rural and Community Development. The Deputy could, I suppose, direct questions to that Department about whether there are plans to change the penalties under that Act. I just could not comment on this point. We do not have responsibility for this Act, so it would not be correct for me to comment on it.
