Joe Carey: I again ask the Minister to be clear on what he seeks. He should indicate to Members what he intends to do with the greyhound industry. I refer to his remarks to the effect that he considers microchipping to be better than tattooing. Were the greyhound industry to be taken out of this, as the Minister has stated it will be, he would not have a view on the greyhound industry. Consequently,...

- Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Jul 2010)
Joe Carey: I fully support the amendment. It is a fundamental one which would remove the greyhound industry from the provisions of the Bill. The Minister has said he would remove the greyhound industry to give comfort to Fianna Fáil backbenchers who have put pressure on him. That is what he has been telling them. We are giving the Minister an opportunity to take their concerns and those of the...

- Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Jul 2010)
Joe Carey: I cannot fathom the Minister's approach in this regard, in particular in respect of the greyhound industry. It is not realistic to determine that a greyhound bitch could be potentially useful for breeding at six months. While in general terms, a bitch, once finished racing and if part of a good litter could be used for breeding purposes she would never be so considered at six months of age....
- Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Jul 2010)
Joe Carey: One has to rear greyhounds and generally does so up to 12 to 14 months. The six months provided for has no relevance to the greyhound industry and will create huge damage therein. Under this provision an establishment, following the birth of one litter of pups, will become a breeding establishment. The Minister stated that all breeds will be subject to the provisions of this Bill. He is...
- Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Jul 2010)
Joe Carey: The legislation provides that six bitches over the age of six months constitutes a breeding establishment, which is rubbish. This will hurt the greyhound industry and put in jeopardy 11,000 jobs and â¬550 million. There are 17 greyhound stadiums in this country at which people enjoy greyhound racing every night of the week. Ireland is a world leader in this area. The Minister in trying...
