The Control of Horses Act 1996 (the Act) provides powers to local authorities, enabling them to control stray and wandering horses in their geographical areas. Enforcement of the Act is a matter for the relevant local authority, in this case Cork City and County Councils.
My Department provides funding to local authorities as a contribution towards the costs incurred by them in operation of the Act. Funding provided to Cork City and County Councils by my Department in this regard to date in 2023 is €5,925.
