Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-02
============================================================

Martin Browne (SF), Tipperary

Deputy Carthy has outlined exactly why it is important that no more of these headlines appear in the Irish Farmers' Journal and so forth. To have trust in the sector out there, there must be trust here in the House. If we are not being informed of what is going on at the start, then the whole scheme or any scheme, whether it is that of the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine or of the Department of Health or wherever else, is doomed to fail. Like Deputy Carthy said, we ask that the Minister accepts the amendment. It is good practice if nothing else. It is fair on the sector and fair on people sitting in this Chamber in that they will get a chance to speak on any of these amendments that are coming. I again ask the Minister to consider the amendment.
