11.
Mr. Ryan
Dublin Corporation, which is the authority required by law to provide pounds in the city area, has provided a pound at Churchtown Road on the south side of Dublin. This pound was opened on 1st September, 1960.
Mr. Ryan
Would the Parliamentary Secretary indicate where this pound is situated?
It is situated at Churchtown Road and rejoices in the romantic name of "Barn Elms".
Mr. Ryan
Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that this pound is not being fully used or certainly is not sufficient to prevent the annoyance of wandering horses in Dublin suburbs? Will he take steps to inform the Garda authorities that more strict measures will have to be taken to prevent——
That is an entirely separate question.
