The tail is the end of the spine. There are many nerves in this area. TO dock a tail is unnecessary anyway; to dock a tail without pain relief / anaesthesia is downright cruelty.
How can a westernised (! hah!) 'progressed' country bring in a big 'oh OK then' to a cruel act as this? A MAJOR step backward and only goes to show what a primitive country Ireland continues to be. I live on the border and work with a dog rescue - enough is enough. Far too many dogs already are ill / not vaxed / neglected... this is another way for sordid people to mutilate in a back garden job of docking. This should only be carried out by vets with anaesthesia.
