Former Eurovision winner Linda Martin has officially launched her new dog sanctuary in Meakstown, Finglas.
And while Lord of the Rings star Ian McKellen was due to cut the ribbon on the The Dublin Dog Hub, it was Louis Walsh that stepped in on Friday.
Speaking to the Irish Examiner, The Why Me? singer said the shelter currently has a capacity for 20 large dogs and 30 small dogs and has the foundations laid for another block, with plans to scale up the size of the shelter.
She said Ireland is “getting there” when it comes to attitudes towards dog ownership but said puppy farms must be controlled and if she had her way, they would be banned.
“If you take a dog in, you have to look after it, it’s not just for amusement for a couple of weeks,” she said.
