Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 November 2025
727. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department monitors or records cases where organisations (details supplied) remove genetic indexes; to list all such cases since 2021; and to confirm whether Department-appointed board members have been contacted about such removals. [65530/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe named organisations are not-for-profit organisations established to coordinate and lead cattle and sheep breeding in Ireland.
Complaints by breeders concerning genetic indexes are a matter between the named organisation and the respective breeders and my Department has no role in this matter. It is a matter for the executive to deal with such operational matters and, I understand, that individual cases are not normally discussed at Board level.
