- Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (2 Jul 2010)
Pat Breen: Like my colleague, Deputy Carey, I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill. Pardon the pun, but with unemployment levels and ordinary families struggling to make ends meets, it is not surprising that ordinary people out in the street think that the Government has finally gone to the dogs.
