Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

I understand that the working group to review the management of dog breeding establishments has met on four occasions between October 2004 and March 2005. I have been advised that working group members are finalising their recommendations and I expect to receive a report from them in the very near future.
