Control of Dogs
Dail Éireann — 2024-09-19
============================================================

Thomas Byrne (FF), Meath East

The Government recognises that some people may not agree with the decision, and I also note that the Deputies are coming at this from different perspectives. Both of them have raised reasonable issues and I have no doubt about that.
To reply to Deputy Andrews, the reality is that these dogs have only been bred in the last number of decades. They are not as ancient as the Irish wolfhound. It is a completely different scenario, so I am sure-----
