Impact of Rising Veterinary Costs on Dog Ownership and Surrenders and Abandoned Dogs: Discussion
Ms Deirdre Kelly:
I will take the question on the €2 million capital funding. That is a new fund this year in line with commitments that were made in the working group report around supports for, in particular, small-scale works on the pounds and the provision of vehicles to the dog wardens. The Department of Rural and Community Development has not provided funding like that in the past. This was the first time we provided funding like that.
