Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Animal Welfare and the Control and Management of Horses: Discussion

Mr. Garrett Shine:

Yes, but sometimes it can vary. In our by-laws in County Louth, if after five days the owner is known, one has to serve a second notice to give another five days. No authority would be fewer than five days and it would be rare to have it longer than ten. The average would be between five and ten days as the holding period.
