The reason I raise this issue is that the greyhound industry (amendment) Bill is on the agenda for the spring term. It is very important that the Leader bring this issue to the attention of the Minister of State, Deputy Tom Hayes, in order that we could look at some system whereby for each dog licensed there would be a notice for the vehicle in which it was being carried. This system is in use in the United Kingdom. If police officers stop a suspicious vehicle and do not see a notice in it, they can impound the dogs being carried. We need to move on this issue quickly.
