The IFA representatives also spoke about the need for stronger powers in respect of dog control. Committee members have spoken on several occasions about the lack of wardens in counties. In County Tipperary, where I live, we were told we had 1.5 wardens, which is crazy for a county of that size. Has the IFA had any involvement with the Garda or councils regarding dog control? What seems be happening, and we spoke about this earlier, is that it is falling between two different Departments. What are the representatives' thoughts on how dog control is being done at present and how it could improve?
