Animal Welfare
Dail Éireann — 2026-03-19
============================================================

Martin Heydon (FG), Kildare South

It is unfortunate she did not ask a question specifically on that because her question was on the broader animal welfare strategy, which is much broader than that. I disagree with some of the points she made, which are a dreadful slight on the thousands of people who work in our greyhound racing industry and who love the dogs and care for them greatly.
