Anthony Costello got a lifetime ban for neglecting six dogs in a filthy home, despite a prior ban and claims of hardship.
Anthony Costello, 45, of Swords, Dublin, received a lifetime ban from owning animals after pleading guilty to neglecting and causing suffering to six dogs in a filthy, sewage-affected home.
Found in stacked crates with no food or water, the dogs were severely underweight, matted, and suffering from medical issues.
The 2024 raid followed a prior 10-year ban and conviction, with the court noting Costello’s failure to act despite claims of drainage problems and personal hardships.
A four-month jail sentence was suspended for two years, and over €16,000 in council costs were deemed unrecoverable.
The ruling underscores the severity of repeated animal welfare violations.
