Stray animal controls Limerick County Council

Stray animal controls Limerick County Council

Control of Horses
Bye Laws introduced under the control of Horses Act 1996 prohibit the keeping of a horse without a current licence issued by Limerick County Council. Exemptions to the above include:
Owners with in excess of 5 acres of agricultural land, owned or leased, on which the horse is kept.
Owners whose animal is registered with a riding club approved by Limerick County Council.
Owners of thoroughbred horses.
Applications for a Horse Licence must be made using the appropriate Application Form and accompanied by the prescribed fee of €31.74. A licence will not be granted unless facilities for the proper care and maintenance of the horse are available. The horses must be identifiable by means of an approved microchip implanted in its neck. Limerick County Council seized and detained 32 stray horses in 2004(20% reduction on 2003). Horses are held at a private Pound in Cork for a minimum of 5 days pending reclamation by their owners.Application Form available: Application for a Horse Licence (PDF Format)
