Everybody in the House will be aware that a nine-year-old boy, Alejandro Miszan, was ravaged by a restricted breed of dog in Enniscorthy, which left him with life-changing injuries. I ask that the resources given to dog wardens be looked at. There are 55,000 households in Wexford. Statistics show that 49% of householders own a pet or dog, which is 27,000 households in Wexford. We have 1.6 whole-time equivalent dog wardens. I ask that the injuries of that child not be in vain.
