REVENUE officers have seized three dogs at Dublin Port that were bound for Britain.
None of the animals were microchipped, vaccinated or had pet passports as required under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013.
The dogs were seized on Tuesday after an Irish woman travelling to Britain was stopped and questioned during routine operations.
