Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
1:00 am
Michael Finneran (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fianna Fail)
The 1958 Act is in place for the promotion and regulation of the greyhound industry. However, this Bill is about the welfare of dogs. The two pieces of legislation will complement each other. The view being portrayed is that this is in some way an attack on the greyhound industry, but that does not stand up to scrutiny.
