Stray dogs attack people in residential area of Tipperary
People needed stitches inserted in wounds
A number of people in the Old Bridge area of Clonmel have been attacked by roaming dogs, Cllr Pat English stated at a meeting of Clonmel Borough District.
He said that some of those attacked needed to have stitches inserted in their wounds.
Something serious needed to be done about this in the short term because he feared that a young person would be attacked and it would be too late to do anything about it.
Denis Holland, of Tipperary County Council’s Environment and Climate Action section, said that this would be followed up as a matter of urgency, considering the serious incidents with dogs that had happened in other parts of the country.
