Case against dog owner over excessive barking struck out
Summary
In Balbriggan District Court, a case brought by neighbour Lorraine Sherry against Gail Corr over the constant barking of Corr's two dogs was struck out after the judge heard that the barking had ceased. Sherry had complained that the dogs, a Boxer cross and a Labrador Collie cross, barked until 5 am on 15 February and 15 March and that Corr had made no effort to stop them. She had sent a registered letter and then taken the matter to court. Corr had fitted anti‑barking collars and claimed the dogs were kept indoors and only taken out for walks. Judge Dermot Dempsey noted a "colossal improvement" and, satisfied that the dogs no longer bark, struck the case out.
