Revenue officers at Dublin Port seized four puppies on Monday when they stopped and questioned two men during routine operations.

The British nationals were travelling to Holyhead but did not have pet passports for the puppies.

Revenue say the dogs were also not microchipped, as is required under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013.
