Calls to ban ‘dangerous’ breed dogs in council estates

MOVES are under way to ban “dangerous breed” dogs — including Alsatians, Pit Bulls and Rottweilers — from council homes in Cork city.

Fine Gael Cllr Joe O’Callaghan called yesterday for a full debate on his proposed ban at the next council meeting, to be held in September.

He made the call after he received reports from constituents of two cases of attacks on people by Alsatians in council estates on the northside of the city in the past two weeks.
