Mr. Heslin would have no objection to the four databases having a central repository where the information would be accessible to the authorised authorities if, for example, a dog had to be reunited with its owner. A concern raised by one of the animal welfare organisations was that some microchip databases require people to phone in, which can delay reunification with the dog. If someone could go online and verify the details, though, the dog would be reunited with its owner much more quickly.
