Motorists Warned Of Deer On The Loose In Ennis

Motorists are being advised to steer clear of a rogue deer spotted in a residential part of Ennis in recent days. There have been several sightings of the animal, who it's understood originally lived in the Lee's Road area, in Hermitage and Cloughleigh in the last two weeks. Unsuccessful attempts have been made by Clare's County Dog Warden along with members of An Garda Síochána and the National Parks and Wildlife Service to capture the deer and return him to the wild. Frankie Coote says he poses a significant threat to vehicles.
