Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

My Department received an application for a license to transport dogs from the individual concerned on 22 September 2015. However, as the material furnished was seriously deficient, the application was refused. The applicant contacted my Department by phone last week and a fresh application form was issued to him.

Question No. 327 answered with Question No. 244.
