Last chance for howling hounds

Howling foxhounds in kennels next to an apartment complex in Bandon will be relocated if they don’t keep the noise down.

Operators piped classical music into the kennels in a bid to calm the Carbery Hunt hounds, housed at the Old Military Barrack Mill for 80 years.

But residents at the neighbouring Millcourt apartments claim the barking has persisted and is causing sleep deprivation.
