Constitutional Referenda. (12 Apr 2005)

The most recent figure for the value of fur exports from the CSO was €1.6 million. If...

Fur Farming (Prohibition) Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (23 Mar 2005)

Arthur Morgan: I will come back to that at the end if I have time. Let us look briefly at the economics of this issue. On the basis of export value, a single animal pelt is sold for €14.

There is not much scope...

Arthur Morgan: I, therefore, urge all Deputies to support this Bill and bring this marginal barbaric business to an end. I wish to deal with the jibes from the Minister, Deputy Coughlan.

That will not stop me and my colleagues from having our say on...
