Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 July 2015
184. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 168 of 28 April 2015, if he will confirm the names of the two former fur farm operators who have ceased to hold licences within the past three years. [27042/15]
View answerA licence from the Department is required for the keeping of mink under the Musk Rats Act, 1933 and Musk Rats Act 1933 (Application to Mink) Order, 1965. It is not the practice to divulge the names and addresses of licensees who hold, or have formerly held, licences to operate mink farms, as this may prejudice the security of the operators’ premises.
