asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if he is satisfied that legislation in respect of noxious weeds is being applied in full.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Noxious Weeds Legislation.
5.
The enforcement of the Noxious Weeds Act, 1936, is carried out by the Garda Síochána and I am satisfied that they are performing their duties as effectively as possible.
Can the Minister say how many prosecutions were instituted in, say, a convenient 12-month period?
That seems to be a separate question.
The number is approximately ten per year.
There are a lot of weeds in this House that might be eliminated.
