Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he is concerned that since the licence fee for dog licences increased from €12.70 to €20, more than 26,331 dogs disappeared from the system, representing a 12% drop in persons getting the licences; if he believes the hike in fee has stopped people registering their dogs; if discussions have been held to abolish the dog licence fee when compulsory microchipping is introduced to prevent double taxation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
