Vol. 430 No. 5

Written Answers. - Wild Cats.

Noel Ahern

Ceist:

152 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the problem of wild cats is becoming a major issue in some parts of Dublin, particularly since the closure of the Cats and Dogs Home; if he will make a statement on the matter giving details of those responsible for the issue as both corporation and health board officials claim to have no statutory responsibility in the matter.

As the law stands, I am not aware that any public authority has specific statutory responsibility in relation to wild cats. However, I understand that Dublin Corporation makes annual contributions to various voluntary bodies which deal with wild cats in their area.
