Fur Farming.
3:00 pm
Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)
Fur farming is already banned in the UK, Austria and Luxembourg and precedents exist within the European Union. It appears other countries do not have a significant uptake. Consequently, I put it to the Minister that banning it in Ireland will not have a knock-on effect whereby other countries take it up by virtue of our non-production of mink fur.
