The NSPCA (The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) have launched its One National Voice for Animals Strategic Focus 2026-30.

In this seven‑page document, the NSPCA sets out its ambitious plan to enhance animal welfare across Ireland.

The NSPCA is calling for urgent reform of existing animal welfare legislation in Ireland. The organisation says while progress has been made, gaps in current protections means animals remain at risk, and enforcement is inconsistent. It believes that strengthen legislation, improving oversight and ensuring proper resourcing are essential to delivering meaningful and lasting changes.

Irish animal welfare organisations have rejected the ‘Heather for President’ campaign being conducted by Heather Humphreys in Ireland’s upcoming presidential election campaign.

The 2025 Irish presidential election is due to take place on 24 October 2025. Voters currently have a choice of three candidates, including Heather Humphreys who represents the Fine Gael party. The other candidates are; Jim Gavin, Fianna Fáil and Catherine Connelly, Independent.

The Irish Council Against Bloodsports (ICABS) have highlighted the animal welfare issues record of Ms Humphreys.

In 2013, she voted against an amendment to the Animal Health and Welfare Bill which sought to outlaw hare coursing in Ireland.

She also voted against an amendment to the Bill which sought to outlaw fox hunting, terrierwork, digging out, ferreting, badger culling and the use of animals in circus performances.
