Charlie McConalogue (FF), Donegal

I respect the Deputy’s position; I have a different view. However, we all agree on the imperative of animal welfare, maintaining their well-being and making sure they are in comfortable circumstances at all times and especially when they are travelling. I believe the rules and regulations we have in place are robust and strong. We are providing additional oversight through the training of additional veterinarians. It is an important outlet for the market as well. The key point is that the rules and conditions under which those animals travel are absolutely appropriate and have proper oversight. We will continue to maintain and further develop that.
