Scottish-style sanctions for dog owners needed here - IFA

IFA Sheep Chairman Sean Dennehy said the ‘get tough’ policy by the Scottish authorities on dog attacks is in stark contrast to the approach in this country.
Scotland has passed legislation that means dog owners can now be fined up to £5,000 or jailed for six months.
“This is the kind of deterrent that’s needed if we want to get serious about this issue. Unfortunately, there has been an abject failure by our authorities to put appropriate sanctions in place to deal with the irresponsible and reckless behaviour of some dog owners,” he said.
