Question:160 Mr. Aylward asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands if she is prepared to grant an exemption for foxes and rabbits in view of the fact that section 38 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, will be amended by section 46 of the new Wildlife (Amendment) Bill, 1999, as it will have serious consequences for sheep farmers during lambing season and damage crops; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
