This week, an inquest heard that Galwaywoman Teresa McDonagh’s brutal death could have been avoided, had warnings about how dangerous her son’s three Presa Canario dogs were been taken seriously. Mrs McDonagh, aged 64, died of “massive” injuries, after she was attacked at her son’s home in June, 2017. The killer dogs had free rein in father-of-four Martin McDonagh’s property and were described by the local postman as the most vicious dogs he had seen in 25 years.
