Under the Microchipping of Dogs Regulations 2015, it is a matter for the authorised databases to decide whether they grant direct data access to third parties such as animal welfare organisations.

As with all four authorised databases, the Irish Kennel Club (IKC) met a strict set of criteria to become authorised. The IKC continues to meet the requirements of the Microchipping of Dogs Regulations, 2015 and the Animal Health and Welfare Act, 2013.
