Councillor seeks animal welfare officer for Mayo
Cllr Donna Sheridan raised the issue.
A Mayo councillor has said she is disappointed that there is no funding to employ an animal welfare officer in Mayo.
Cllr Donna Sheridan made her comments at the November meeting of Mayo County Council, noting that local authorities have a role to appoint such an officer.
“The feeling I get is it is not a priority for the environment section.
“I don’t want to have to keep putting this on agenda and fighting for it. I will put forward an amendment instead for the budget, for €75,000 to be spent on animal welfare, whether for the charities or for an officer, as I just feel very strongly about this.”
