HC Deb 13 May 1919 vol 115 cc1460-1W
Mr. DANIEL WILSON

asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) whether, having regard to the outbreak of rabies in England any and, if so, what steps have been taken to prevent the importation of dogs into Ireland?

Mr. BARRIE

Immediately on the outbreak of rabies in England the Department of Agriculture in Ireland, on the 11th September last, brought into operation an Order which has since been strictly enforced prohibiting the importation of dogs from any portion of Great Britain into Ireland. This Order will not be modified or removed until, in the Department's opinion, it is safe to do so.
