Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Dog Control and Sheep-Worrying: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Brian Delaney:

Everyone is on the same wavelength when it comes to dog wardens. The powers of the dog warden need to be reviewed and dog owners' responsibilities as well. We spoke about the responsibilities but in cases of attacks or worrying, the repercussions need to be looked into. Fines and potential prosecutions need to be followed up on. If an example is not made of someone, things are not going to change.
