The Minister was like a chased hare at a coursing event. He was getting attacked and questioned from all sides on this. This session of committee stage had to finish by 1:30pm and I reckon it couldn’t come soon enough for the Minister. He was taken away by his minders and we all went back to our kennels. He returns to the house next Wednesday for the third session and I’m hoping that he will have had time to gather his thoughts in the meantime.

Senator Dominic Hannigan blogs about Minister John Gormley’s recent visit to the Seanad to bring the Dog Breeding Establishments Bill through the house. I might tune in next Wednesday for phase three!
