Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 March 2024
1015. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the structure of the Irish Pedigree Breeders Council under headings (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12471/24]
View answerMy Department is responsible for the registration of breed societies in Ireland. However, the Irish Pedigree Breeders Council is not a breed society and therefore my Department does not regulate this organisation. My Department has no oversight in relation to the queries raised by the Deputy. The Deputy should contact this organisation directly.
The Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF) is similarly owned by its shareholders and appointments to the board of ICBF and any expenses and remuneration are therefore a matter solely for ICBF.
