The NSPCA was delighted to welcome Ann Graves TD, Réada Cronin TD and Lynn Boylan MEP to its Dublin Animal Centre.

NSPCA Director of Advocacy and Policy Conor Dowling, Political Affairs Officer Claire Owens, and Head of Welfare Advocacy and Sustainability Gillian Bird showed them around the centre, providing a first-hand insight into the day-to-day rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming work carried out by the NSPCA.

Following the tour, there was a constructive discussion on the NSPCA’s key advocacy priorities and proposals for legislative reform, as outlined in its 2026–2030 Strategy.

The NSPCA would like to thank Ann Graves TD, Réada Cronin TD and Lynn Boylan MEP for taking the time to visit and engage in these important discussions.

We look forward to continuing to work with elected representatives from across the political spectrum to advance practical, evidence-based reforms that strengthen animal welfare standards throughout Ireland.
