I am not sure whether the Tánaiste will be aware of the reports of horrific abuse of greyhounds in Macau, which does not have animal welfare laws or retirement programmes for greyhounds. As a consequence, there have been significant protests in this country and the Australian Government has banned the export of greyhounds to Macau.

When does the Tánaiste expect to have the Greyhound Industry (Amendment) Bill brought forward? Will it include export prevention measures to states with a poor animal rights record?
