Cabinet is expected to approve a bill banning fur farming in Ireland this morning.
The bill will also provide for a compensation scheme for the three active mink fur farms currently operating in Donegal, Laois and Kerry.
A 4 to 8 million euro package will be provided next year - and the ban won't kick in until early next year.
Independent TD Michael Fitzmaurice is a member of the Oireachtas agriculture committee - he says the ban is needed.
