Apart from requirements to comply with relevant welfare legislation and to register as a flockowner under the Diseases of Animals Act 1966 (Registration of Poultry Premises) Order 2005, there are no restrictions in place regarding the keeping of poultry in private residential gardens in Dublin City under legislation operated by my Department.
The Deputy may wish to contact the relevant Local Authority to ascertain the position regarding any restrictions applicable under Local Authority legislation.
