REVENUE OFFICERS AT Dublin Port seized three puppies yesterday, after finding them in the back of a van that had just arrived to the country.
The officers stopped and questioned two men and a woman who were in the vehicle.
The dogs are now in the care of the DSPCA. Veterinary examinations on all three revealed that they are around 8 weeks of age and in reasonable health.
They were named Boris, Nutmeg and Fly by the DSPCA.
No documents or proof of vaccinations were found for the three puppies.
Under Irish and UK law, any dog being transported between the two countries must have an up-to-date pet passport with records of vaccinations, microchips and veterinary certificates.
The DSPCA said that any dog entering or leaving Ireland must comply with the passport regulations.
Over 500 dogs have been seized in the last two years.

Looking forward to the annual quick dip in Lough Owel Mullingar tomorrow. In and out followed by a nip if whiskey and home for the turkey dinner what more could you ask for? Compliments if the holiday to all of the combatant Journo commenters (is that a word?), I don’t always agree with your point of view but can’t help checking them out.
Been able to swim would surely be the most important thing
Don’t make any necessary journeys.
Don’t wear a swimsuit you pussies

Swimsuit is funnier
I’m swimming in Courtown Hrb on Christmas Day. My first time and I’m in my 60′s I’d hardly swim in the sea in July unless it was in Spain or somewhere. But it’s a dare and it’s for Hope Cancer Support Services https://www.gofundme.com/xmasswimwebb16hopecancersupport
