Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-03-22
============================================================

Martin Heydon (FG), Kildare South

Our job here is to look at that legislation and see how we do that.
To respond to Senator Boylan, part of my earlier response was that Department officials have a good knowledge of these farms because of their inspection system down through the years. I am not familiar with the exact role Grant Thornton played in that in respect of visits, but we are dealing with Department officials who know these farms well and who have regularly visited them down through the years.
