asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will consider allowing pigeons to be imported into this country from England, where he is satisfied from a veterinary surgeon's certificate that the birds are free from disease.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Importation of Pigeons.
Mr. Walsh
I am not prepared to relax the present prohibition on the import of pigeons, as it is, in existing circumstances, considered a necessary precaution against the introduction of disease infection.
Even with a veterinary certificate that the bird is all right?
Mr. Walsh
No.
