Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development

My Department has not established a working group for a National Stray Dog Strategy. I understand that an hoc working group, under the auspices of Veterinary Ireland, has been established to identify a strategy to reduce the stray dog population in Ireland. Accordingly any terms of reference are a matter for the working group.
