The Local Government Management Agency (LGMA), with support from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the County and City Management Association (CCMA), has developed a new website called services.localgov.ie.

The website contains a catalogue of the services provided by the local government sector in Ireland. Information on over 1,000 services is presented in a user-friendly and accessible manner all in one place and is available in both English and Irish. Users can browse the catalogue in a number of ways and can link directly to their local authority to access a service. The project delivers on Actions 3 and 4 of Our Public Service 2020 to improve communication with the public and to make services more accessible. Services.localgov.ie will also support the development of digital services across the local government sector. The project is contributed to and supported by all 31 local authorities.

Lambing time has now begun.

Every year in Monaghan, there are many attacks on sheep by dogs, particularly around lambing time. These attacks cause great cruelty to sheep and lambs. These attacks result in serious losses for the farmer.

Any dog, large or small, may become involved in attacking sheep – MAKE SURE YOUR DOG DOESN’T GET THE CHANCE!

If you own a dog or dogs, you are required to:

• Keep your dog under control at all times. This means not allowing your dog off your property unaccompanied.
• Have a microchip certificate of registration which proves that your dog is microchipped and registered to you. (Required since 2016)
• Ensure that every dog under your control wears a collar bearing the name and address of the owner at all times and that the name and address are legible.
• Have a current licence for each dog in your possession or a general dog licence to cover all dogs in your possession.  YOU CAN NOW BUY YOUR DOG LICENCE ONLINE AT www.monaghan.ie   

PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOG LICENCED, TAGGED, MICROCHIPPED AND UNDER CONTROL.
