825 Deputy Maureen O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Health if the two Certificate Gs listed in the 2010 statistics for the number of animals used in experimental and other scientific purposes are the same ones as recorded in the 2009 Statistics; if the G Certificates cover all LD50/LC50 procedures as enumerated at column 7.2.1 of the Statistics in 2009 and/or 2010; if other types of procedures are permitted under these G certificates; in relation to approving the Certificate Gs listed in the 2009/2010 statistics, what was the argument accepted by his Department as to the reason the object of any such experiment will be necessarily frustrated unless the animal may experience pain that is likely to be prolonged; will Certificate G procedures, which are defined as potentially causing animals severe and prolonged pain, be prohibited as a result of the transposition of Article 15(2) of Directive 2010/63/EU which forbids procedures that involve severe pain, suffering or distress that is likely to be long-lasting and cannot be ameliorated; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
