I propose to take Questions Nos. 508 and 509 together.
My Department has responsibility for implementation of the European Communities (Licensing and Inspection of Zoos) Regulations 2003 which deal with the inspection, licensing and regulation of zoos. These Regulations give effect in the national context to the EU Zoo Directive.
There are no plans at present to make zoo inspection reports available online. However, the reports are made available on request and are also subject to the Freedom of Information process.
The table below lists the zoos and aquaria inspected by my Department in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Inspections for 2022 will resume later this month.
