Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine how his Department will evaluate whether the merger of the ISPCA and the DSPCA results in improved animal welfare outcomes nationally, not just improved administration within the merged charity; if there will be a review of the overall funding model to ensure it reflects evolving needs, especially with over 100 registered animal welfare charities in the country; if he will commit to a public consultation or stakeholder forum to review how animal welfare funding is distributed and measured in light of this structural change; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
