Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

I am seriously concerned when Senator O'Sullivan brings to the attention of the House the abuse of starving animals. From time to time, we pass fields in which we see badly treated animals. We have a duty and responsibility to report such cases to the various agencies responsible. I thank the Senator for bringing the matter to the attention of the House. I will allocate time to allow the report to be debated in the House.
