Lynn Boylan: I thank the Chairman. I appreciate that. I know the work Dr. Kirby is doing with PetBond is exceptional. I recommend anybody who wants to buy a puppy to avail of the support of that site. Surgical artificial insemination is a very invasive procedure, even if carried out by a vet. There are also the more concerning issues raised by Dr. Kirby, namely, the possibility that this is happening...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013: Post-Enactment Scrutiny (Resumed) (23 Feb 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I will be quick as I know we are under time pressure. I am following on from Dr. Kirby, as a vet practising for 20 years, explaining his concerns around surgical insemination and all the risks that it comes with. It is interesting that when I put a question to the Minister and the Department, they said they were not aware of any animal welfare concerns around surgical insemination. This is...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Feb 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Before I came into the House, I had the misfortune to listen to the Joe Duffy show. It is not something I do very often. Comments were made about the Irish Women's Parliamentary Caucus. As long as the caucus excludes parliamentary and secretarial assistants and all the other women who work in these Houses, it is exclusionary and, therefore, I will not participate in it. Monday was the...
