Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Dog Control and Sheep-Worrying: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Willie Shaw:

It is mainly the sheep areas. Where sheep farming predominates, there is a greater chance of dog attacks. There is less of a chance in the counties with fewer sheep. Flashpoints tend to be in rural areas where there are hillwalkers and where one comes into contact with the other.
