- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Review of Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010: Dogs Trust Ireland (6 Apr 2022)
Tim Lombard: Mr. Brennan's point about the socialisation of animals was really well made. I know from my business that the more bovines are socialised, the more placid they become. Socialisation works and needs to be enforced. On the input of local authorities, some local authorities farm out veterinary functions to other local authorities. Cork County Council does work in this area in Cork City...

Tim Lombard: Mr. Brennan mentioned that this legislation crosses different bodies and Departments. We are dealing with local government and local authorities. This committee deals with agriculture and rural affairs come into this to some degree as well. It is a mishmash of at least three Departments.

The witnesses mentioned ash dieback and a beetle being brought in that affected the ash tree. Are the witnesses fearful that the biosecurity currently in the ports, with the imported timber, will have an implication regarding...

I spoke to a senior planner from a local authority some time ago and I went through what actually happens in that context. The local authorities' files are broken into eight parts. They do environmental impact studies and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Pig Industry: Discussion. (13 Apr 2022)

This has happened in other industries, particularly in the insurance industry. Over a period, we have seen different levies put on the insurance industry to help it get over issues and, in time, the industry...
