I wish to ask about the control of dogs legislation. Dogs are a regular feature in Irish life and bring considerable happiness and enjoyment to many people. Unfortunately, there are many irresponsible dog owners and they cause great problems to livestock in particular, but also in many instances to humans. Dog attacks on livestock are quite frequent but despite this some local authorities failed to issue fines over the past four years. This matter requires greater attention.
