A Tipperary farm family has spoken of the “horrific” dog attack on their sheep that they expect will result in the deaths of over 80 of their flock.
After receiving a phone call early on the morning of December 27 informing him of the attack that occurred on his rented farmland around six miles away, Lorrha farmer Donal O’Donoghue was met with a scene “like a massacre” when he arrived there, his wife Nuala said.
