The Animal Welfare Oversight Committee

The Animal Welfare Oversight Committee is made up of various stakeholders and interested parties, including staff, elected members of Dublin City Council, members of An Garda Síochána, representatives from voluntary animal welfare groups and inspectors from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.

Since 2021, the committee has overseen our work and advises on issues related to the services we provide. It also plays a role in the creation of policies and the development of partnerships with external organisations.

The Animal Welfare Oversight Committee meets regularly. You can find the minutes of recent meetings below. They include a list of the committee's current members and a record of decisions made at meetings.

Dublin City Council's Animal Welfare Unit is always eager to educate animal owners and spread the word about the work we do. If you would like one of our dog wardens to give a talk at your school or community centre, contact us below.
