    That is quite a vague question. Can you elaborate slightly ?

    The onus is on you, the owner to make such arrangements, however if travelling within Europe your companion animal must be:

    1) microchipped,
    2) have a valid pet passport,
    3) have a rabies vaccination > 21 days before the intended date of travel,
    4) treatment for Echinococcus multiocularis 1-5 days before intended date of travel & return (if coming back to Ireland)
    5) and it is generally a good idea to treat preventatively for ticks (not obligatory, but continental Europe has tick-borne disease).

    The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine's section on the pet passport scheme can be found here.
