RE Request for information records via the FOI act Background: I previously requested access to some records from the BCMS system connected to a commencement notice in Co. Louth by contacting Louth County Council building control department. They indicated that they could not share any documents and therefore, unlike accessible planning submissions, there is no method for the public to view building control submissions, other than by making a FOI request. For your information other Councils have accepted this type of FOI request already. I am happy to receive the information electronically and do not wish your office to have to print anything or to take time searching through records for specific information. My request is intended to be simple and can be summarised as follows: Source of information: ref CN0113361LH Commencement date Monday 22 Apri 2024 Owner name James O'Callaghan Address of development: Walterstown, Castlebellingham, Co. Louth Planning permissi+E108on: 191054 (all of the above is from a public record) Information sought: All general arrangement plans, specifications, calculations etc. submitted as part of the commencement notice. Other incidental information such as emails, cover letters, memos etc are not requested and all names can be redacted if you like. This request is simply a request of technical information and not of anything personal. I am not asking for any printing, or effort to account for large format drawings etc other than ask that the file size integrity of the original drawings is retained, otherwise the content will be difficult to see within a reduced file size pdf. For instance in the past I received pdfs based on A4 printouts of the BCMS file which in effect meant I was looking at thumbnail images of a detailed drawing that were submitted, as opposed to the actual large format drawings. Please use this email as the method of delivery.

Last week it was alleged that Louth pound picked up a dog that appears to be a staffy or small pitbull and killed it within days of having it. I have requested under the FOI Act to be advised if this male dog was 19' at the wither per your unusually cruel legislation that seems to target any large dog regardless of breed. In this case the dog did not look to be XL in size. It is alleged the owner tried to stop them, but they killed Kodi anyway. There will be a march #justiceforkodie next week. Other dogs are "allegedly" being threatened to be killed by dog wardens. I have an English bulldog. This breed was made famous by Winston Churchill and is well known among people who are "breed aware" to be gentle family orientated dogs. The history of this dog goes back to the 16th century. Eventually becoming domesticated as a house pet in the early 19th century. If I was to look at most breeds they come from a hunting background. Dogs were originally for work, for purpose, NOT for sitting on couches. Will all these dogs now get killed? Your legislation appears to give way to this. Your legislation actually targets ANY dog 19' at the wither that is perceived to be in good muscular shape. A fit labrador can fall into this category. A Cane Corsa, the same breed that Messi (the famous soccer player) also fits into this category. What assurances do I have that your uneducated inexperienced dog wardens wont "mis identify its breed", take it and kill it after February 1st? If my dog got incorrectly taken and killed I would more than likely have a heart attack. What appeals process do you have in place to stop mistakes by Dog Wardens and vets? It seems unconstitutional to NOT have an appeals process in place to claim back ones property? And in this case, a living breathing, feeling animal that is a family member. This cull seems very anit-human rights and undemocratic.
