Each year my Department publishes statistics on our website in respect of a range of dog control responsibilities of local authorities. This includes the range of statistics that the Deputy has sought. This information is currently available up to 2012 at the following link:. Statistics from each local authority in relation to 2013 are now being collated and verified and will be published as soon as possible.
