Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 March 2010
620 Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if there is capital funding available from his Department for voluntary run services for dog protection; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12258/10]
View answerFunding of voluntary run services for animal protection, including dog protection, is a matter for the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. However, it is open to local authorities to make payments to voluntary run dog protection services where these relate to a service provided to the local authority in respect of its dog control functions.
