Would the Minister consider changing that either now or when it goes to the Seanad?

I think it is best the way it is.

This is the most opportune time.

It is best the way it is.

I wish to raise the point about special purposes.

I do not think any exceptions can be made when everybody is ruled out of using it. It might give a nice finish to certain cases, but you cannot have it both ways.

Has the Minister consulted the people about this?

Yes.

I wonder whether the use of blueing dips is prohibited in other countries for special purposes. I am thinking of brands for show purposes. If we happen to send our sheep abroad it might be an advantage to have facilities for that purpose. I think the Minister might possibly consider making exceptions in certain cases, especially for show purposes. The Minister might cover it by putting in "for show purposes."

I do not think—

I am not asking the Minister to commit himself now. I am only asking him to consider the matter.

I might ask, Sir, if the fine of £10 is not a bit too high. Perhaps the limit might be a bit lower.

Is not discretion given there?
