Animal welfare group ‘making progress’ after concerns raised

The Cork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA) has made good progress in implementing the recommendations of a review ordered after concerns about animal welfare were raised.

Cork’s city councillors have been told that improvement works at the CSPCA’s Mahon facility are ongoing, and the premises will be subjected to random inspections annually.

Despite a request from Independent Cllr Kieran McCarthy to reject a report from the city manager, backing the CSPCA, councillors said it is time now to let the centre get on with its business.
