What are the most popular breeds of canines in Ireland?

Restricted Dog Breeds in Ireland (taken from - http://www.ispca.ie/Restricted-Dog-Breeds.aspx)

The Control of Dogs Regulations 1998 specify 10 breeds which need strict control.

  • American Pit Bull Terrier
  • Bull Mastiff
  • Doberman Pinscher
  • English Bull Terrier
  • German Shepherd (Alsatian)
  • Japanese Akita
  • Japanese Tosa
  • Rhodesian Ridgeback
  • Rottweiler
  • Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Every other strain or cross-breed of these dogs are also covered.

These dogs must be securely muzzled and kept on a dog chain or leash. not more than 2m long, in a public place and supervised by someone aged over 16 years who is capable of controlling the dog.

As far as I know, and from general observation (being a great dog-lover and admirer), the most common dogs in Ireland are Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, Collies, Springer Spaniels, Terriers (especially West-Highland, Jack Russels and Yorkshires), Beagles, beautiful mutts and probably a few more that I'm forgetting. Irish people generally love their dogs, and probably every breed exists in Ireland whether common in numbers or not. Also, the Kerry Blue is not the national dog of Ireland, I'm not even sure if such a thing exists, but if it does, then the national dog of Ireland would definitely be the Irish Wolfhound.

In terms of race, Celtic people came to Ireland and Scotland around 500BC. So there are Celtic roots in Ireland and Scotland generally. As Glasgow is a Scottish city, there would be people there who can trace their roots to the Celtic people.

What is crime like in Ireland?

Ireland is a relatively safe country. There are gangs and gangland murders. There are robberies, drug dealing, smuggling etc. There are homicides and other kinds of crimes, but not a lot compared to many countries. While any crime is too much crime, Ireland is certainly not a high-risk country. In January 2013 a policeman was shot while on duty. The last time a policeman on duty was shot before that was in June 1996. So that gives you some idea of the low levels of crime. Another indication is that the regular police are not armed, only special units of the police are. Someone visiting Ireland could be unlucky and get robbed, but the vast majority of tourists and residents have not problems.

Full Answer

A plan for a National PostCode system for Ireland was to be implemented by Jan 2008. This plan has not happened and there is no published alternative.Instead a Geo Postcoding system referred to as PON Codes was introduced for testing in June 2008.
