Five dog attacks on livestock were reported to Kerry County Council in the first six months of 2026.
The update was provided in response to a motion by Fianna Fáil councillor Fionnán Fitzgerald at the recent full council meeting.
That’s unchanged on the same period last year, when five attacks were recorded up th the end of June.

Last year the council launched a map highlighting parts of the county where dog attacks on sheep have taken place.
Cllr Fitzgerald stated it’s disappointing that the figure is not going down, and urged for more to be done to alleviate the issue, particularly with the lambing season approaching.
