Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail)

I want an answer from the Minister. The Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2010 is almost as short as this amending Bill. Why did the Minister decide not to amend section 3 of the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2010. He is amending section 4 of the 2010 Act but he is not amending section 3. It was advertised to the public before the election as a specific promise by Fine Gael. I refer to letters from the Minister of State, Deputy McEntee and a famous letter from the Minister, Deputy Phil Hogan to the National Association of Regional Game Councils. The Minister has not addressed my concerns on Second Stage. I thought I made a very valid point that a specific commitment had been made by Fine Gael and which was completely reneged upon. Why is section 4 being amended and not section 3, the section dealing with stag hunting and which was the subject of large scale promises by the Fine Gael Party?
