My officials have not engaged with counterparts in Northern Ireland in respect of developing an all-island schedule of restricted dog breeds, and there are currently no plans to do so, however my officials would be open to exploring such discussions in the future.
My officials meet quarterly with counterparts in the UK Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs to discuss common issues of concern, policy developments and to share learnings.
