Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rearing of Fowl and Animals.

42.

Mr. P. Barry

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries what steps are being taken to prevent cruelty in the rearing of fowl and animals under intensive farming systems.

Mr. J. Gibbons

I am looking into the question of whether any modification of the existing law for the prevention of cruelty to animals is necessary in relation to animals kept under intensive rearing systems.
