I do not propose to accept the amendment. Section 8(17) provides that, if a dog breeding establishment does not prominently display its registration certificate, it shall be guilty of an offence. The proposed amendment would expand the number of offences included in section 8(17) to include offences already listed elsewhere in the Bill. These include offences provided for in section 8(16) — providing false information — and section 17(5) — obstructing or interfering with an authorised person or a member of the Garda Síochána and non-co-operation with a request for information.
