Gardaí say they are working with landowners, farmers and others as part of the investigation and are appealing to anyone with information to call 01-6665300.
“There is also a public health aspect to this as the animals had been recently treated with medication that renders the meat unsuitable for human consumption until it dissipates. Please only purchase lamb from trusted sources in the area,” a garda spokesperson told the Irish Farmers Journal.
