Vol. 268 No. 11

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Badger Preservation.

161.

asked the Minister for Lands if he has any proposals to strengthen legislation to preserve the badger.

(Cavan): This matter is being considered in the context of pending wildlife legislation.

I understand that people in the southern part of the country consider that the badger is harmful to other forms of wildlife while in the west it is considered a harmless animal. Can the Minister state if the badger is harmful to other forms of wildlife?

That is a separate question.

(Cavan): It is a separate question but if the Deputy will put down a question on the matter I shall answer it.
