North Tipp IFA chair Imelda Walsh says it’s an ongoing problem

“Unfortunately no matter how much we plead with dog owners it continues to happen.”

“Dog owners need to be mindful that they are responsible for their animals in relation to compensation to the owner of that flock of sheep.”

“I would just say to owners in that area to know where their dogs are at night. And unfortunately once a dog attacks a flock of sheep they continue to do it and usually there’s more than one dog involved.”

“Once they get the taste of blood the dog continues to attack the sheep.”
