Chairman of the Committee Andrew Doyle TD says: “Tomorrow’s meeting will allow us an opportunity to further consider the Animal Health and Welfare Bill, which is at the third stage of the five-stage legislative process. We have met twice this month, on 8 and 21 November, for detailed discussion on the Bill. Tomorrow our Committee will have an opportunity to continue our careful consideration of this important Bill with Minister Coveney. Animal health and welfare is fundamental to the safety of the food we are producing, which is in turn impacts of the profitability of our export led agri-food sector.”
