It’s heartening to hear there has been a big response to a recent column about the plight of the Bilberry Goats who have been living on the outskirts of Waterford City for over 300 years. Though it’s not surprising, for many folk have a soft spot for these creatures with their mad blue eyes, lively intelligence and physical agility. Not to mention their courage, as illustrated by the tale of the Three Billy Goats Gruff who outwitted the troll that threatened to devour them.
