Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Dog Control and Sheep-Worrying: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Pheilim Molloy:

Pet owners and pet dogs were mentioned earlier. A huge number of different types of dogs are kept as pets. As the Deputy said, if you go into a field in which there is an Alsatian, you are not going to stay in it too long because the danger is that you will be attacked. That is an issue that needs to be looked at. Dogs are allowed to run wild. While there is a lot of talk about dogs on hills, many of the attacks originate from these so-called pet dogs.
