Gardai are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body of a 71-year-old homeless man found in a sleeping bag on the campus of University College Dublin.
A petition to ban third party sales of puppies and kittens will today be submitted to the Northern Ireland Assembly.
Lucy s Law will require anyone seeking to purchase a new puppy or kitten in Northern Ireland to deal directly with a breeder rather than buying from a third-party seller.
Green Party MLA Rachel Woods is to submit the petition calling on Minister for the Department of Agriculture Environment and Rural Affairs Edwin Poots to implement the legislation in Northern Ireland.
With over 2,800 signatures at the time of printing, Lucy s Law is named after a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who suffered a litany of physical ailments, including a curved spine, bald patches and infused hips, while kept in a puppy farm in Wales.
