Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

I am reassured more than I was before the Minister's response. It is not that I doubted his intent, as he is unquestionably operating in the best interests of animals. He understands the concerns expressed by my colleague in respect of agriculture, as well as the concerns held in the hunting and fishing industries. Providing greater clarity on the issue is important for the efficient operation of the legislation. I hope the regulations the Minister is formulating will provide for that clarity.
