Gardaí in Kerry are appealing to dog owners to keep their pets tied up, particularly at night, as the storm season gets under way.

The appeal comes after the latest dog attack on sheep in the county, this time on valuable Dorset sheep in West Kerry. Some 25 pedigree ewes were killed overnight on Sunday in a savage dog attack that has left the farmer devastated.
