Reilly and Keating pleaded guilty to breeding dogs without a licence, under Section 13 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

She applied for a licence before attending court and is now a licensed dog breeder.
Keating pleaded guilty to 11 offences and was sentenced to 18 months’ community service and a further 25 days rehabilitation activity.
The outcome of the confiscation hearing will be heard in September 2024, which is when the financial penalties for the pair will be decided.
Disgusting to give this back yard breeder a licence! 18 offences! Scum!
No way this crim should be allowed to own a dog, let alone breed them.
if you google her name she was also done a few years ago for stealing dogs disgusting they called her the real life cruella
Thanks for the info. I’ll look into that.
