Question 185: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food his plans to outlaw the export of Irish greyhounds to China. [5941/11]

I am not aware of any exports of greyhounds from Ireland to China in recent years. Any proposal to export greyhounds from Ireland to China would require the establishment and agreement of export health certification protocols with the Chinese authorities, and appropriate transport arrangements would have to be put in place to ensure the welfare of the animals in transit.
