35 Mr. Dempsey asked the Minister for the Environment when the regulations under the Control of Dogs Act will be introduced; and if the necessary exemptions will apply to the Airport Police Dog Unit. [18262/95]
A comprehensive review of dog control regulations is nearing completion. I am favourably disposed to exempting dogs used by the Aer Rianta Police from the muzzling and leashing requirements of the Control of Dogs (Restriction of Certain Dogs) Regulations, 1991, and I intend to make the necessary regulations as soon as possible following completion of the review.
