Dog wardens can issue a €300 fine to owners who have taken their dogs off their leash or failed to a muzzle on restricted dog breeds.
From December, dog wardens can issue a €300 fine to owners who have taken their dog off their leash or failed to a muzzle on restricted dog breeds.Announcing the fine increase, Minister for Rural and Community Development Heather Humphreys said it’s important to improve dog control nationwide.
“We are looking at increasing the number of dog wardens across the country, but I think the point is here is that the dog warden can’t be everywhere,” she said.She noted it is the responsibility of local authorities themselves to make sure dog wardens are available.There will also be a new stakeholder group to consider adding dogs to the restricted breeds list, including the XL Bully that was recently banned in the UK.
