Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 March 2004
281 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if he will make available veterinary supervisors reports for the 2003-04 coursing season and reports of meetings between his Department and the ICC. [7487/04]
View answerAs I outlined to the Deputy in my reply to Question No. 246 of 18 February 2004, Department of Agriculture and Food veterinary inspectors agreed to attend approximately 10% of coursing meetings for the 2003-04 season on behalf of my Department.
My Department is awaiting receipt of final reports from the inspectors in relation to the 2003/2004 season, which has just ended. When received, the reports will be analysed and recorded in the Department, following which I will arrange for the veterinary reports and the reports of any meetings involving my Department and the Irish Coursing Club to be made available to the Deputy.
