Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

The substance of this amendment relates to the next one, in which context I will address Senator Henry's concern. She is referring to obtaining a search warrant to gain access to a veterinary premises. This section relates to granting certificates of suitability whereas the Senator's substantive concern is malpractice, which will be dealt with in the next amendment. It is a matter for the inspectorate to determine whether a premises is suitable.
