Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Wildlife Conservation (28 Nov 2012)

Dinny McGinley: I thank the Senator for raising this matter. Deer in the wild are of interest to me because I live adjacent to a national park in County Donegal that has a very extensive herd of deer. While I am not sure of the species, we are very familiar with their presence.
