Maureen O'Sullivan (Dublin Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I accept the Minister's argument and that his heart is with our amendments. There was another case in Cork recently in which a red fox was tortured and hanged from a bus stop. These cases show us the vital need for inspectors. I felt the term “appropriate” was a little bit loose in the legislation. While I am not suggesting a qualification or a degree is the answer to everything, experience is also vital in this area. I accept the Minister will take this into account when appointing inspectors but I did feel the term “appropriate” was vague.
