Michael Healy-Rae
Question:1009. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to his proposal that all dog owners have to pay €50 to microchip their dogs, his views on whether this proposal will put struggling farmers to another expense in particular in the cases where they may have a number of dogs in order to carry out their day-to-day work; his further views on whether it is practical to ask vets to carry out the work at cost price; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
