Martin Heydon (FG), Kildare South

I agree with Deputy Cathal Crowe, who outlined that we have robust animal welfare legislation in this country. The Minister, Deputy McConalogue, through the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, funds a number of animal welfare charities with grant aid to assist with and defray some of their costs. We work closely with our local authority system and the veterinary staff in local authorities on the enforcement of such animal welfare legislation. I would appreciate if the Deputy could share any specific details that have been highlighted and I will bring them back to the Minister and my officials.
