My Department publishes annual statistics in respect of a range of the dog control responsibilities of local authorities. Information up to and including 2021, by county and in tabular form, is available on the dog control statistics page on gov.ie. The 2022 dog control statistics are currently being collated and when checked and verified will be published on gov.ie.
A more detailed breakdown of the fines issued by local authorities for the controlled breeds of dogs for being in breach of regulations regarding muzzling, leashing and identification, in each county for the past five years, is provided for information.
