Cull call as ‘feral cats run amok’

Council officials have been urged to conduct “a cat cull” after claims were made that two housing estates in Co Cork were infested with feral moggies.

The council’s director of environment Louis Duffy is to discuss with Cork County Council’s chief veterinary officer what can be done to tackle the issue after a councillor said that one of the estates was overrun with nearly 100 “wild” cats.

Cllr Frank O’Flynn said the two estates he was concerned about were in North Cork, one in quite a large village.
