Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Dog Control and Sheep-Worrying: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Willie Shaw:

Rights of way have caused, and will cause, trouble over the years. A lot of people have access to other properties and other land further in. To register that in one name is not going to happen and will not work. I do not mean that to be biased, but we have to be practical because everybody is entitled to access. Let us take the proper approach so that people have access under consent. This is a big issue that the ICSFA wishes to raise. If nobody else can go into someone's property without consent, why should this be any different? These lands are easily accessed if people really want to get to them.
