THE DOG warden is to be informed of an unlicensed Doberman Pinscher that has been seen behaving aggressively in the vicinity of young children.
Judge Eugene O’Kelly told Gardaí at Limerick District Court to make the authorities aware of the danger posed by the dog in the Delmege Park area of Moyross.
Noel Stanners (21) of Delmege Park accepted he was in control of the dog when it was seen by Sgt Kevin Bourke while he was on routine patrol on October 20 of last year. The unlicensed dog, which was not muzzled and not on a leash, was behaving in an aggressive manner near children.
Defence solicitor, Jenny Fitzgibbon, said that the dog had been taken in by her client’s grandmother but Mr Stanners accepted it was under his control on the date of the offence.
Judge Eugene Kelly asked Sgt Bourke to inform the dog warden about the situation and adjourned the matter until March 26.
