Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Dog Control and Sheep-Worrying: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Hugh Farrell:

The Senator hit a good point. As far as insurance goes, I feel our dogs would be covered as a hazard under public liability. The point on the other end is access to hunting. Maybe we should look at that. There needs to be consent for people to come in to hunt on the land or to be on the farm, whether it is walking or hunting. Maybe that needs to be looked at to could control a lot of what we are discussing today. It is something I would like to see brought forward.
