To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will meet with the Irish Seal Sanctuary in order to deal with the reports of multiple seal deaths many of which appear to be suspicious and to discuss their offer of assistance in the carrying out of post mortems in the regional veterinary laboratories and colleges.

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 379 of 28 February 2013, where I detailed my Department’s response to the recent reports of seal deaths around our coast, including co-operation with the Irish Seal Sanctuary.

I will arrange for officials of my Department to meet with the Irish Seal Sanctuary in order to discuss further options for co-operation in this matter.
