A farming family near the village of Lorrha, at the north tip of Co Tipperary, say they have lost more than 70 sheep, following a savage dog attack on their flock after Christmas.
The attack was first discovered by local farmer Mr Donal O’Donoghue, on December 27th, which found some 50 sheep killed and another 20 having to be put down due to serious injuries.
Since the initial discovery, a number of sheep that had survived the attack have also since died.
The Chairperson of the Irish Farmers Association, Mr Kevin Comiskey has stated that such ongoing dog attacks, (the 3rd attack in the midwest in recent weeks), on sheep flocks are no longer acceptable and he has called for an emergency meeting at top government level to obtain legislation, including proper responsibility for dog licensing and compulsory microchipping, same to be brought solely under the control of the Department of Agriculture.
Following this Lorrha December 27th savage attack, some sheep still remain missing, others have been located with their entire faces and body parts ripped off. Those located dead were found strewn about everywhere at the location.
Gardaí are now investigating and we understand they have already attended at the scene of this savage attack.
- Total investment of over €20 million this year to enhance security of the State.
- New helicopter to allow for rapid deployment of specialist units across the country.
The Minister for Justice Mr Simon Harris TD has today announced an additional capital allocation of €21.5m to support significant investment in a replacement helicopter and fixed wing plane for An Garda Síochána.
Funding will be provided in 2023 to support the procurement of a longer range and high capacity utility helicopter fully equipped with Garda mission equipment.
Funding will also be made available to procure a fully equipped plane, with the requisite reliability and enhanced capabilities to support policing, security and surveillance operations.
The new helicopter will also support the rapid deployment of the Emergency Response Unit and Armed Support Units where necessary.
Together, the investments will provide a vital support to the security of the State, offering consistent and effective capacity to Garda national units in the investigation of espionage, terrorism, organised crime gangs (OCG), border policing, human and drug trafficking, kidnapping and fuel smuggling/laundering.
Speaking today, Minister Harris said: “The Garda Air Support Unit does vital work to combat criminal activity and protect the public. This new, state-of-the-art plane and helicopter will significantly boost the State’s aerial support and ability to uphold national security.
The allocation of this additional funding is further evidence of the Government’s commitment to provide An Garda Síochána with the resources it needs to keep us safe.
It’s vital our Gardaí have the resources they need to tackle serious and organised crime, police our borders, investigate potential threats, increase their surveillance capacity and rapidly deploy specialist units, such as the Emergency Response Unit and the Armed Support Unit, across the State.
I expect that the new helicopter will be purchased, delivered and become operational this year, while the new plane will become operational in 2024.”
Of the €21.5 million being made available in 2023 through Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR), administered by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, €9million will go towards phased payments for a replacement Garda Fixed Wing Aircraft, while€12.5 million will be provided for the purchase and delivery of a fully equipped helicopter.

Management at University Hospital Limerick (UHL), latter providing medical services to North Tipperary, have declared a major internal incident, due to the record high attendances at its Emergency Department (ED) today.
A spokesperson for the hospital has stated that patients attending UHL ED with non-emergency care will face an exceptionally long wait before receiving any necessary care, due to the massive surge in patients experiencing respiratory infections, including Covid-19, Flu and Respiratory Syncytial Virus infection (RSV)
Less acutely unwell patients are being asked to first consider Injury Units; GPs; out-of-hours GP services; and pharmacists before attending at UHL’s hospital emergency department.
In order to try to address the worsening situation at the hospital, UHL has sent out an S.O.S call for off-duty staff to return and present themselves to the hospital for work duty; while additional surge beds are being opened at hospitals in Ennis Co. Clare; Nenagh Co. Tipperary, and in St. John’s Co. Limerick.
Day beds at University Hospital Limerick are also being converted to inpatient beds, with a renewed focus on discharging current patients.
All outpatient appointments at UHL, scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, January 3rd, have been cancelled and only urgent elective surgery will be undertaken over the coming days.
Note: Injury Units in Ennis, Nenagh and St John’s will continue to operate as normal, while all visiting to UHL is now severely restricted, to parents of children, those visiting patients who are critically unwell and those assisting confused patients (e.g. dementia).
The National Ambulance Service (NAS) have also been asked to divert some patients to other acute hospitals, in an effort to support the extreme levels of demand at UHL.
