I met briefly with some fur farmers whilst on a visit to the North West and Minister of State, Mr Shane McEntee TD, had another meeting at the request of an Oireachtas member where the farmers put forward their case for the retention of the fur industry in Ireland. Separately, my officials would have met with a number of parties and individuals in preparation of the report on fur farming.
