Summary
Deputy Dessie Ellis asked about the timing of amendments to the Dog Breeding Establishments Act and whether unannounced inspections by the ISPCA would be included. The Tánaiste said he would come back on the timeline and that the aim was a strong regulatory framework with inspections.
Will the Tánaiste indicate the status of the Dog Breeding Establishments (Amendment) Act? Will he also indicate if unannounced inspections of dog breeding establishments will be included in the proposed legislative amendments? If so, can he tell us whether these inspections will be carried out by proper authorities such as the Irish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals?
