- Protection of Animals. (13 May 2008)
Andrew Doyle: The need for the establishment of a working group to examine legislation for the regulation of dog breeding establishments is borne out of a concern for an area that falls outside mainstream animal breeding, which is open to much abuse.

- Rural Environment Protection Scheme. (20 May 2008)
Andrew Doyle: All the more time for me. It is safe to say that when all the information is gathered on the â¬28 million promised in 2007, it will be found that only â¬900,000 had been drawn down by May 2008.

However, when arriving at the figure of â¬28...
