GARDAÍ charged a man last night (Monday October 16) in connection with a joint-agency search operation that resulted in the seizure of 19 dogs in County Limerick last January.
The dogs, including 15 Pit Bull Terriers, two Alsatians, and two Rottweilers, occurred at a residence in Pallasgreen on January 17 last.
The man, aged in his 30s, is due to appear before Kilmallock District Court this morning (Tuesday).
The search operation was conducted by Gardaí from Bruff and Pallasgreen, alongside personnel from Limerick City and County Council.
The 19 dogs were seized under Section 45 of the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013, following an inspection by veterinary officials.
Gardaí at the time of the seizure said the dogs were out into the care of a dog shelter in the Southern Region where they received care and medical attention.
