asked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that within the past few days a series of shooting outrages have occurred in the northern portion of county Kerry; whether one horse was shot dead, another horse shot through the eye, and three calves also shot; and whether any arrests have been made or anyone brought to justice in connection with these offences?

On the night of the 21st April a yearling colt was shot dead and another wounded on a grass farm belonging to the Knight of Kerry in the Listowel police district, and on the same night three calves on a farm in the same district were also fired at and wounded. The police have not yet been able to obtain any information which would justify an arrest.
