Dog Warden Position Open In County Council

570

Tipperary county council are seeking to hire a new dog warden.  The position comes with a starting remuneration package of almost €40,000.  The Government working group in respect of dog control issues recommended an increase in the number of dog wardens across the country and a greater degree of monitoring in respect of the enforcement of dog control legislation.  The working group was set up following a dog attack on a child in county Wexford that seriously injured the boy and a spate of dog attacks on sheep resulting in a number of fatalities. It is  – estimated that approximately 3,000 sheep die in such circumstances annually.

The closing date for applications for the Dog  Warden position  is May 5th and full details are available  on the Tipperary County Council website.
