I am informed by the Garda authorities that the incident referred to by the Deputy is being investigated by the Garda Síochána. I understand that the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the South Dublin County Council Dog Warden are assisting the Garda authorities in their investigation. I am further informed that targeted Garda patrols will be carried out in the area referred to in order to combat this activity.
