03 October 2017

A debate on animal welfare is scheduled to take place in Dail Eireann this Tuesday, 3rd October from 8pm to 10pm. The Private Members Motion by Independents 4 Change TDs Maureen O’Sullivan, Clare Daly, Tommy Broughan, Joan Collins, Catherine Connolly, Thomas Pringle and Mick Wallace will highlight the "increasing number of incidents and reports of animal mis-treatment, cruelty and abuse" which stems from "neglect, poor regulations, lack of enforcement of current legislation, inadequate legislation and lack of sanctions for those responsible for these acts of cruelty".
