Following the shooting of a buzzard in the Midlands recently, an award is being offered by a local man for information to help the Gardaí in their investigation.
The bird of prey was sitting on a tree branch in Emo woods in Loais on Saturday December 5 at 7.50am when it was shot and killed. The National Parks & Wildlife Service launched an investigation and asked for information. They say that the firearm was discharged from the R422, south of Emo village.
Now Patrick O Brien is offering €100 for information, and he launched a GoFundMe on Saturday January 16 for people to donate more money to increase the amount of the reward. See link below story.
