In Clare, one man deals with every animal welfare issue on behalf of the local authority. He deals with everything from an escaped parrot to dogs or horses that are out on the road. He is an incredible guy named Frankie Coote. He is excellent. Everyone is hugely complimentary about him. He has a slot on the radio every Friday morning. He is on the radio and goes out later to bring in horses. He advises people on dog welfare. What I am hearing is there is only one of him in most counties. Some counties do not even have someone like that.
