Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food
Dog Control and Sheep-Worrying: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Hugh Farrell:
The dog owner, and I will follow up on what Mr. Bourke said. We agree totally because if they are being chipped by the vet, there is a native system they can be registered on. They are automatically transferring into the database. That whole facility is already set up except for maybe a bit of tweaking on the IT side. It is up and running, so this is not impossible. It will not take a long time to do it. Now, in the beginning, is the time to make it happen before there is more harm done.
