INHFA calls for legislation on dog control and more public awareness of land ownership
The Irish Natura and Hill Farmers Association's survey responses showed a 'real concern relating to the threat posed' to farmers and their livestock from walkers bringing dogs onto hills and farmlands.
A policy paper on public access launched by a farm organisation is calling for new legislation around dog control and public indemnity, along with a public education programme to be established.
The Irish Natura and Hill Farmers Association has compiled its paper following a survey conducted with its membership over the last number of weeks.
