288. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department will consider putting an obligation on collectors through the subvention scheme that they pay knackeries and the licensing system to collect all fallen animals within their collection area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The importance of the animal collection service is well recognised, as it provides an essential service to the farming community and wider public.

My Department is aware of some concerns raised and is in consultation with the Animal Collectors Association (ACA) to resolve these issues.
