A sheep farmer is counting the cost of a sheep attack which occurred on Wednesday night in Craanford, Co Wexford.
Richard O' Sullivan lost two pregnant ewes as well as a lamb and a ram after they were attacked by what appears to be a pack of large dogs.
Richard's daughter Lisa spoke recently about the attack and said: " We got a call from a neighbour to say they could see one of our ewes lying on her back, which is never a good sign."

They then went up to find the others lying dead in a ditch around the field.
It is believed that the attack took place on Wednesday night/ Thursday morning between 12-1am, as neighbours reportedly heard a disturbance at this time.
