There is clear evidence in this stretch from Killarney, through Millstreet, to Macroom. There has been a huge increase as a result of more deer coming into that area. The view is that the deer moved because of the damage done by fires around the Killarney lakes area. What action did the Department take to deal with that issue? We now have a whole lot of farms locked up as a result of it.
