Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 April 2017
277. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of animals exported by type of animal and country of export in each of the years 2014 to 2016 and to date in 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17247/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe figures available to my Department for live exports of animals by type, country of export and year are set out in the table attached. I would draw the Deputy’s attention to the fact that the figures for dogs, cats, horses and other animals are taken from the EU TRACES database, which began recording animal movements within the EEA in 2015. Dogs and cats that are taken out of the country as pets are not recorded on TRACES.
Live exports are a vital component of Ireland’s livestock industry and play an important role in ensuring competition in the market place. Both I and my Department are making every effort to promote and maintain an environment in which live exports can take place in both an economic and sustainable manner, with due regard for the welfare of all animals exported.
