Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 March 2004
560 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will give assistance to the Cats Protection Association of Ireland so that it can discharge its responsibilities (details supplied). [8760/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is not able to make a direct financial contribution to the association. However, where a local authority considers it appropriate, it may assist a body which is endeavouring to reduce, in a humane manner, the problems caused by feral cats. Several local authorities in the Dublin area have provided assistance to the Cats Protection Association of Ireland in recent years.
