MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, January 11, 2021

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

To ask the Chief Executive the outcome of the tender for dog pound services. What consideration has SDCC given to a proposal I made a few months ago that all four Dublin Local Authorities come together and request appropriate funding from central government to put in place a public no-kill dog pound that centres animal welfare and which would serve the city of Dublin?

REPLY:

The tender for the dog pound services for the SDCC administrative area was issued on 4th January 2021, with a closing date of 3rd February. The outcome will be determined after the tender process has been completed.

There are no joint proposals from the 4 Dublin Local Authorities to provide a directly run Dog Pound and there is no provision in the 3 year SDCC Capital Budget, approved at the December 2020 meeting, for the provision of same.
