Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I endorse the comments of the previous two speakers. I would prefer the inspectors to be staff of the local authority, who know the area. They are professionals. We have all worked with local authorities and we know their veterinary departments. These are the professionals who should be vetting anything to do with animal welfare. No outsiders should be brought in. It should be left to the local authority; they have control and they know the area.
