My request relates to the administration of European animal welfare regulations. I seek: 1. Information on the number of Balai certificates and (if available) the number of animals per Cert issued to each Type 2 transporter since January 1, 2015 broken down by month, year and (if available) general animal type (dog / greyhound). I am happy to restrict this to only those Type 2 authorised transporters who have been approved to transport species of dogs. I would like this to be broken down by authorisation number. 2. A breakdown of the number of animal health inspections carried out by the Department on Type 2 transportation exports at each port and on the land border between Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. This should be broken down by month, year and port/crossing where available.
