Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for his reply. The Minister said consideration had been given to banning wild fowling, but on what grounds would the Minister impose such a ban? When we were dealing with the outbreak of foot and mouth disease, almost everything was closed down but it appears we are adopting a blasé approach to this potential difficulty. When will the Minister introduce a ban on wild fowling?
