Article 49 of the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 (as amended) states that a person in charge of an animal which is being conducted along or on to a road shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the animal does not obstruct traffic or pedestrians. Enforcement of the Regulations is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
