§ Mr. LINDSAYasked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) whether, seeing that no case of rabies has been known in Ireland for several years, due precautions have been taken to prevent the importation of dogs from Great Britain and foreign countries?
Mr. BARRIEWith reference to that portion of the question dealing with the importation of dogs into Ireland from Great Britain, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 13th instant, to a similar question by the hon. Member for West Down. As regards foreign countries, a permanent Order is in force, as before the outbreak, preventing the importation of dogs into Ireland from those countries.
