HC Deb 12 March 1900 vol 80 c596
MR. CAREW (Dublin, College Green)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he can state when he will withdraw the muzzling order now in force in the King's County part of Eden Derry Union, seeing that no case of rabies has occurred in this area for a considerable period, and that the order does not extend to the adjoining parts of the union situate in Meath and Kildare, within a very short distance of the town of Eden Derry.

MR. PLUNKETT

The unit of area for the purposes of the muzzling of dogs Order is the administrative county, and not the poor law union. I hope it will be found possible to withdraw the Order from the whole of King's County in the course of next month.
