Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 November 2006
462 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if the ban on electro-immobilisation on live farm animals will include the 1 Brinder Compact as advertised in a newspaper (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37901/06]
View answerAs already announced, I propose to introduce legislation to prohibit the use of electro-immobilisation on live farm animals on animal welfare grounds. In that context, the precise terms of the legislation have yet to be finalised and consequently it is not possible to indicate if the procedure referred to by the Deputy will be included in the ban.
