Amharc ar fhreagraIn January this year I convened a Working Group on the Control of Dogs.
The Group is composed of officials at my Department, the Department of Rural and Community Development, representatives of the County and City Managers Association, including representatives of local authority dog wardens and veterinary inspectors, and representatives of An Garda Síochána.
The Group has met eight times to date and the recommendations outlined in the The Working Group Report are progressing.
