Vol. 431 No. 4

Written Answers. - III-Treatment of Animals.

Trevor Sargent

Ceist:

63 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a Capuchin monkey is on sale for £900 in Pet World Ireland, Ltd., George's Street Arcade, Dublin 2; that the monkey is being kept in a rather small cage and has displayed symptoms of a cold recently; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The question of ill-treatment of animals is a matter for the Garda Síochána under the Protection of Animals Acts, 1911 and 1965, and I have referred the matter to them for attention.
