New bill aims to allow faster rehoming of seized dogs

It is hoped the bill will free up space in shelters and reduce associated costs.

Legislation that will allow dogs that are seized on welfare grounds to be rehomed faster has been brought before the Seanad.

The Animal Health and Welfare (Dogs) Bill 2022 which was brought forward by Sinn Féin Senator Lynn Boylan was debated on Wednesday evening as a Private Member's Bill.
