We will be discussing deer management on RTE Ear to the Ground @ 7pm. The most recent data shows 78,025 wild deer were culled in Ireland over a 12 month period. Regardless of when a species was introduced or their origins all deer need to managed in sustainable & ethical manner.

More disinformation on wild deer, TB is a devastating disease for rural Ireland but we shouldn’t mislead farmers and ignore science. “Farmers divided over TB controls, but united on tackling deer” farmersjournal.ie/beef/news/farm… National Parks and Wildlife Service Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue Malcolm Noonan

Let’s hope Martin Heydon James Browne TD National Parks and Wildlife Service Micheál Martin stop playing politics with our wildlife and base management decisions on best practice deer management, scientific evidence, animal welfare concerns, and avoid disinformation on TB and deer. Sinn Féin
