Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

There is no date for that Bill, as the Deputy is aware. I can ask the Minister to provide an updated briefing on what this Bill entails with the relevant people in the Department. As a former Minister for Agriculture and Food, I know this will have a significant impact on the way we deal with veterinary medicine and animal husbandry. Consultation is taking place on that basis, working through best practice. It might be prudent for the Minister to facilitate a briefing on the progress of this Bill.
