Do we need a national database for dog microchips?

Calls have been made for a national database for dog microchip registration to replace the current four database system to aid a crackdown on dog breeding regulation, and enable dog wardens to identify the dogs involved in attacks on livestock… But, how essential is a central database? Joining Kieran to discuss is Maeve O'Connell, Fine Gael TD for Dublin Rathdown, who is calling for the change, and Limerick-based Veterinarian, Donal Ryan.
