Amharc ar fhreagraFunding 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.
