Isn't every area 'leash only' except for certain parks/beaches where off leash is permitted at certain times?The link above also says that local authorities have the power to make an area a leash only or even no dog area.
As far as I know the dog does not have to be on a leash if he is under the effectual control of owner*. e.g You can walk your dog without a leash if you can control him and ensure he does not go in to someones garden/foul it. But this is diferent than allowing him out alone. That is what i was told anyway.Isn't every area 'leash only' except for certain parks/beaches where off leash is permitted at certain times?
100% agree.Nothing ignorant about that.There is a very dangerous virus in dog muck and this can cause blindness in children. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/ate/childrenshealth/200336.htmlI have a child who plays in the garden and I dont want her handling the excrement of these peoples animal. I'm sorry but thats just the way I feel. Ignorant?....maybe....Protective...Most definitely

Councils have the power to make an area leash only or even no dog. Not sure what is involved there but there must be by laws enacted.
Does not apply to alsatian etc*
I know some of you are going to find this slightly offensive or racist..
If the truth be known andI know some of you are going to find this slightly offensive or racist..My neighbours are from Nigeria and are pretty disgusting. There front and back gardens are filthy and unkept. I have a child who plays in the garden and I dont want her handling the excrement of these peoples animal. I'm sorry but thats just the way I feel. Ignorant?....maybe....Protective...Most definitely
Edit....Apologies to all offended. My neighbours are of African descent...

To my knowledge, as long as they are under his control they do not need to be on a leash. Of course you may be able to make the argument they were not under his effectual control as he was not controlling them. You say they were huge but not a dangerous breed. do you know what breed. Perhaps you should ask the dog warden to have a word and see if he rants to him. Now they were under his control (even if he wasn't bothered stopping them til I called) but surely they should be on a leash too?? .
interesting never knew there were times a dog could be off leash, a bit like single yellow lines and bus lanesAs you say, it's up to each local authority to stipulate the rules for the aera under their control. In Dublin, there is a specified time period during which dogs may be off lead, but 'be under the effectual control of the person-in-charge.' Currently, dogs may only be off-leash in a public place between the hours of 8am & 11am.
These rules apply to areas under control of the authority, if your estate is a private development, these will not apply and you would need to follow up with the management company.

See this previous post for more details on Dublin rules.
I really dont see how their country of origin is in any way relevant to the dirtiness of their gardens. The above is still a racist statement.
get a cameraThis is such a lie as I've seen him myself many times opening the front door, letting the dog out and closing it again.
Thats not the issue. The issue is preventing my child from handling dog faeces.
one of the people here was not irish. my attitude was they had some cheek to come here and expect to be able to mess someones garden. why don't they go back to their own country. some people of all nationalities are dirty and irresponsible and want to have dogs but want someone cleaning the muck. As i said earlier, some cheek and no responsibilitySo why did you bring up their race at all then?
If the issue is preventing your child handling dog faeces then I fail to see what the neighbours race has to do with it.
the UN?We need to find out where the dog is from.
Last night walking my dog in our estate 2 huge dogs came running over to snarl / try hit at him.
