My Department has overall policy responsibility for the Control of Dogs Acts 1986 to 2014. This legislation makes provision for dog licensing arrangements and the functions of dog wardens. Local Authorities have responsibility for all operational matters under the Control of Dogs Acts including the operation of Dog Pounds/Shelters.
My Department has no role in the inspection of Dog Pounds and the deputy should contact the relevant Local Authority to obtain specific information regarding pound inspections.
