I refer to the geothermal Bill. A situation in Tipperary has arisen on payment of charges.

What Bill?

The geothermal Bill.

Under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013 it has come to my notice that despite requests by many Deputies over the years to have slurry spreading dates changed to non-calendar months-----

This is the Order of Business.

------ it has never been brought to Europe by Government.

What Bill is the Deputy discussing?

I am talking about the animal welfare Bill because animals are affected by this.

Talk to the Jack Russell of Fine Gael.

If we all stay quiet Deputy Mattie McGrath's colleague might repeat his remarks.

I am delighted that Deputy Mattie McGrath is so concerned about the animals. At least someone in the House is concerned about some living creatures. That seemed to be absent from the debate earlier.

Can the Minister please get on with it?

I ask the Deputy to sit down.

I understand the geothermal Bill will be later in the year. The Deputy referred to animal welfare legislation; the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013 was enacted last May.

Tá a fhios agam.
