Vincent P Martin (Green Party) | Oireachtas source
I move:
That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to ban the importation of non-native honey bees with the aim of reducing the threat to and adverse impact upon biodiversity and the ecosystem arising from the introgression/crossing/cross-breeding of the native Irish Honey Bee, Apis mellifera mellifera, due to the importation of non-native species or sub-species of and/or strains derived from Apis melliferaand to provide for the appointment of authorised officers; to make it an offence to forge an animal health certificate; and to provide for related matters.
