Ceisteanna (451)

Clare Daly

Ceist:

451. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he is aware of reports that a number of dog pounds, run by local authorities, private entities and the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, do not allow the rehoming of dogs which are perceived as being one of the breeds listed under the Control of Dogs Act 1998 Regulations, but rather euthanise them; if the animal welfare group in his Department will investigate these allegations of threats to animal welfare; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
