Maureen O'Sullivan
Question:545. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the reason a growing number of local authorities are increasingly not rehoming or releasing dogs to rescue centres and instead directly euthanase dog breeds currently listed under the Control of Dogs Act 1998 regulations; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the current legislation incentivises councils to euthanase rather than taking the risk of releasing them for fear of legal prosecution; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
