National Parks and Wildlife Service plan to cull ‘out of control’ deer

The National Parks and Wildlife Service is to carry out a cull of lowland deer, in and around Killarney, amid an outcry about an increase in the number of deer and collisions with motorists.

However, the NPWS has rejected calls to fence off sections of KillarneyNational Park to prevent collisions with motorists.

The cull, in November, will include lowland Red deer, the unique species native to Kerry, as well as the smaller Sika, introduced here in the 19th century.
