Know Where Your Dog Is.

Gardai are asking dog owners to make sure you know where your dog is at all times. When out walking the dog, make sure it is on a lead and not running and roaming freely in case it gets separated from its owner. A call has also been made to Tipperary County Council to roll out a public awareness campaign to help prevent dogs from killing sheep around the county. Dog owners are responsible for their dog, so know where it is advise the Gardai.

Sympathy is extended to the King families Riverstown and Carrig the relatives, friends and team mates of Aidan on his tragic passing on Tuesday 10th May.  After funeral Mass in St. Brendan’s Church Birr on Saturday last, burial took place in Carrig Cemetery. May he rest in peace.
