Dog owners across Co Wexford are being urged to be extra vigilant with their pets in the wake of a sheep attack which saw 14 yews killed three weeks ago. Paddy Keane, who farms in Mayglass, approximately 6km from where the attack occurred earlier this month, says many owners aren’t aware of how dangerous their dog can be once it’s out in the wild.
A 300-year-old thatched farmhouse in County Wexford that only recently underwent "one of the most significant conservation projects" in modern Irish history is set to undergo further restoration work.
The Heritage Council of Ireland (HCI) has asked Wexford County Council (WCC) to hire contractors to repair a thatched house which had previously been subject to “one of the most significant conservation projects” in recent history. Restored in 2001, the house in Mayglass is believed to be over 300 years old and considered one of “the most important vernacular farmsteads in the country”.
