Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I have two brief questions for Mr. Savage, the first of which is on the types of breed advertised. Does Dogs.ieaccept any type of dog? If someone has pomskies and wants to advertise them for sale on its website, doesDogs.ie-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I am asking about pomskies because they cannot be bred without artificial insemination. We heard about the issues around that recently. I had a quick look around the site. In one ad, there were 100 breeding bitches. Does Dogs.ieonly accept ads from a registered breeding establishment that caps the number of breeding bitches or does it accept ads from anyone?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I agree. It is a great improvement on what is on some other sites. From a marketing point of view, though, would it not be better if Dogs.iewas able to pitch itself as only hosting pre-verified ads from someone with a maximum number of breeding bitches and about dogs that, due to the health and behavioural issues that affect artificially bred breeds, can only breed naturally? It would be a...

Lynn Boylan: The Irish Kennel Club would say 30.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: The Irish Kennel Club would say the maximum number someone could have while making a living from it is 30.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I thank the witnesses. Most of my questions are for the CRU. The first concerns EU non-compliance. The only reference on the CRU website to Brexit is that trade will be unaffected and gas will continue to flow. Has the EU made contact with the CRU regarding non-compliance on energy security? On the response the CRU sent to the committee on the Energy Charter Treaty, section 9 of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: The EU has not contacted the CRU.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: The CRU still stands over what is on the website, which is that trade will be unaffected and gas will continue to flow.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Will the CRU seek a derogation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I wish to return to the n-1 conversation we had earlier. I understand that Britain and Ireland entered into bilateral agreements in 1996 and 1998, the transportation agreement and the connected systems agreement. The EU then recognised them under regulation 2010/994. Is Mr. Melvin saying that we no longer conform with the n-1 standard at a regional level because of Brexit even though these...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: However, it is only on that basis. It is not that there has been an increase in risk to our security, because these bilateral agreements stand. The only change is in terms of Brexit. Previously the CRU did not believe Brexit would have any impact on trade or gas flows; these bilateral agreements still stand. Therefore, it is just a technicality in the EU that we are not now a region. It...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: The risk has not increased.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: If Brexit had not happened, would the CRU be making that point to the European Commission?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: We would still have reached it on a regional basis though.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Apr 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I will be very brief. I also wish to raise the matter of the IPCC report. I particularly welcome the fact that the panel said that we cannot rely on unproven technologies such as carbon capture. That is very welcome. It is unfortunate that we are seeing the nature-based solutions presented by peatlands not being seized upon to the full extent possible. Bord na Móna's plans to put a...

Lynn Boylan: Do vets verify and register them?

Seanad: Carbon Budgets: Motion (5 Apr 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I am another member of the Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action who listened intently to all of the discussion around carbon budgets and the climate Act. The Opposition played a very constructive role in improving that Act. One example is the just transition, which was not mentioned once in the original version. While the legislation did not go as far as we wanted, it is...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Apr 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I would like to raise the issue of animal welfare, and not for the first time, in this Chamber. In the past week there have been two horrific cases of mutilated animals in south Dublin. A decapitated dog was found dumped in an apartment block bin shed and a couple of days later a decapitated cat was found in a green space in Ballyboden.I echo the calls of the DSPCA that anyone who has any...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: May I come back in Chairman, if there is time?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: It is just to take up a couple of things Mr. Savage mentioned. He said 700 sellers were blocked. I am aware he is saying he just provides the advert and the contract is between the seller and the purchaser, but if somebody comes to him and tells him the dog died within a few weeks of him or her purchasing it, would he ban that seller?
