THE ISPCA AND Offaly County Council have shut down an illegal puppy farm operating without a license.
A total of 44 breeding females and nine male dogs were found on the premises as well as six litters of pups.
In addition to not being registered, the conditions on the property fell below the standards required under the Dog Breeding Establishments Act (DBEA) and its associated guidelines.
The ISPCA said 62 dogs and puppies were surrendered by the operator and taken into the care of Offaly County Council and the ISPCA where they are being fully assessed.
Offaly County Council subsequently served a closure notice on the operator.
A spokeswoman for the ISPCA said the dogs are receiving ongoing assessment and care and that some of the puppies are very young and will be in care for many weeks and won’t be available for rehoming for some time.
The ISPCA is asking members of the public to continue to report animal cruelty, neglect or abuse in confidence to the National Animal Cruelty Helpline on 1890 515 515, email helpline@ispca.ie or report online here.

Eh McGuinness can’t vote….
He knows he’s not going to win so why bother go down and vote. He is probably not planing another bank robbery with people he doesn’t know
He is giving the other 6 a head start out of the goodness of his heart. That’s why he is not voting.
I am so dissapointed that the standard of our presidential candidates is so low !!!!! is that what we have become ??? Where is the Statesman or woman in that lot !!!!! Martin McGuinness ???? HOW COULD THE COUNTRY EVEN CONSIDER HIM AS PRESIDENT. Sean Gallagher !!! please , who does he think he is ??? a half baked go between for shady people………. and the rest, well harmless and hopeless. Our country has lost its way for sure.
MMG is not voting because he doesn’t have a vote. Like many 10′s of thousands of Irish citizens who live in the 6 counties we don’t have a vote. Ironically we can stand though !
Hopefully the forthcoming constitutional convention will right this wrong.
Yes that true it is wrong that you can stand to be the Irish President if your from a DIFFERENT COUNTRY. Hopefully that will be sorted soon.
Thought there was a moretoreum till voting closes tonight
only applies to “mandate broadcasting”…..ie Special Mary talking about her integrity and all that shite!!!
df you think to much
Or not!
I reckon they’ll all be in the toilet.
have your say
