Sheep grazing the ‘long acre’ on Achill Island are a “nuisance” and “trespassing” on to private property, according to a group of local residents calling for the practice to stop.
The group, Concerned Upper Achill Property Owners, has over 300 signatures supporting its campaign to stop sheep “wandering and roaming on public roads” and ”causing nuisance and trespass and potential accidents”.
