The €100,000 provided in funding, announced by the Department of Agriculture, is part of a €2 million national scheme aimed at hiring 40 new wardens across the country.
Kildare County Council has received a funding boost to improve dog control.
The county only has two dog wardens and it is unclear as of yet if the funds will be used to hire additional wardens.
The €100,000 provided in funding, announced by the Department of Agriculture, is part of a €2 million national scheme aimed at hiring 40 new wardens across the country.
But in Kildare - a county with over 250,000 residents - just two full-time dog wardens are on the ground.
Cork, which has a slightly larger population than Kildare, has five full time dog wardens.
Kfm has sought clarity from the council on how the money will be used, with councils due to report back to the Department of Agriculture within 12 months of accepting the additional funding.
