A woman was fined £100 (£50 fine imposed for each offence) and ordered to pay legal costs of £105 for failing to license a dog in her ownership and for letting it stray, during a sitting of Dungannon Magistrates Court.
Speaking after the proceedings, Chair of the Council’s Environment Committee, Councillor Sean McGuigan, said: “This case acts as a very timely reminder of the importance of ensuring all dogs are properly licensed and kept under control.
