Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)
In this context and to save time, I also seek a response from the Minister with regard to authorised officers. I understand that existing practice with the Irish Greyhound Board is that inspections are carried out in the presence of a Bord na gCon representative. Is the Minister minded to apply a similar criterion to this legislation in respect of inspections? In other words, when inspections take place the authorised officer would be accompanied by approved vets from the relevant organisation.
