Dangerous Dog Breeds and Sheep Worrying: Discussion
Mr. Paul Geraghty:
They are up to €250. I know the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, is very keen that those fines be increased. There are also the fines that can be applied by the courts when a prosecution takes place. They are currently capped at €2,500. It is our attention to increase that ceiling to €5,000. That does require an adjustment to the legislation.
