Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)
It is a specific industry with regard to the breeding and training of dogs, which is the reason there was a separation into two different Bills between what became known as the puppy farming legislation and the greyhound legislation. They were dealing with quite different sectors, one of which pertained to a narrow sectoral area, while the other was a much broader animal welfare issue.
