Minister for Rural and Community Development and local TD Heather Humphreys is seeking advice from the Attorney General on how a ban on XL bully dogs would work here. The minister made the comments in the Seanad last week during a private members' motion on the control of dogs act. The debate comes in the wake of the tragic death of a 23-year-old woman in Co Limerick last week following a dog attack.
Local senators Robbie Gallagher and Diarmuid Wilson have been instrumental in bringing this bill before the Seanad that would see further laws come into force in relation to dog control. Minister Humphreys says she won't be opposing that bill adding that more needs to be done surrounding this extremely important issue.
