Mr. Conall Calleary:

I manage the dog warden service on the ground in Sligo. If we or if the warden feels there is an issue with going to a location, there is a good working relationship with local gardaí on the ground on both sides. If gardaí feel they need help, they will contact the warden and on the opposite side, the warden will contact the gardaí. That is the working relationship that has developed on the ground. I am sure it is pretty similar in many local authorities. We do work a good bit with the gardaí. In Sligo, we have done joint operations with gardaí involving particularly restricted breeds and dangerous dogs. There is a good working relationship on the ground there.
