One of the animals rescued during the Clonmel search operation
A man has been charged with nine breaches of the 2013 Animal Health & Welfare Act arising from a multi-agency search operation that resulted in the rescue of 15 dogs and three horses by the ISCPA in Clonmel last December.
Failure to protect animal welfare and cruelty are among the offences the man is charged with, according to a post published this afternoon on the Tipperary Garda Facebook page.
The accused man has been released on bail to appear before an upcoming sitting of Clonmel District Court.
The search operation that resulted in the rescue of the dogs and horses by the ISPCA was conducted in the Heywood/Ardgeeha areas of Clonmel on December 7 last.
It was part of a larger search operation that involved Gardaí, members of the Revenue Customs Service and Irish Defence Forces during which gardaí seized suspected drugs and three caravans suspected to have been stolen.
Five people were arrested for various offences during the multi-agency operation.
