Impact of Rising Veterinary Costs on Dog Ownership and Surrenders and Abandoned Dogs: Discussion
Ms Deirdre Kelly:
The actual warden service itself is dealt with through the local government side of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. It is the responsibility of local authorities, yes. This is additional funding to any funding that would be distributed through housing for the employment of dog wardens. This is a capital fund for equipment as such.
