AN INVESTIGATION HAS been launched after a number of dead sheep were found on one of Co Donegal’s most popular beaches.
The animals were found washed up on Nairn Beach earlier today.
The four sheep and a seal were all found within close proximity of each other.
It is not known what caused the deaths of the animals.
Nairn Beach is very popular with walkers especially at the weekend.
Local county councillor Brian Carr was alerted to the discovery of the dead animals early this morning.
He has contacted the Environmental Services department at Donegal County Council who are due to inspect the dead animals tomorrow morning.
The public have been advised to stay away from the dead animals or any more which may have washed up along the coastline.
“I was contacted by a concerned member of the public who found these animals while out walking on Narin Beach,” Carr said.
“We’re waiting for the services to take a look at them tomorrow morning.
“We need the experts to examine them and determine where they came from or how they ended up there.
“They could have been dumped there also. As I said, we need the experts to take a look for tags and the like.”

@Frank Mc Carthy: What about ewe,hi
@Tracy Moore: mass sheep shagging using storm as a cover
We’re a great country for ‘launching’ investigations.
@Shane O Neill: Your use of inverted commas suggests that you don’t believe investigations are actually launched. I think that they are. I don’t think that’s why you dispute but you’re too slow to make the point that you meant to make. There’s lots of people like you. Including those who launch and don’t resolve investigations.
@Jack Hayes: You can’t keep away from those mirrors,can you?
@Shane O Neill: i think we should have a tribunal about it if we don’t get any answers by Friday……and set the cost of the tribunal at 60 million and ask BAM to build an office block to hold it in
@Jack Hayes: you really do talk a load of sh@#e
@Jack Hayes: Obnoxious git!
@Shane O Neill: and to learn lessons
Just surmising here but maybe during storm Darragh the sheep were blown from land on higher ground and over a cliff and eventually washed up ashore.
@Nemethon: are you away with the fairies? Did you ever look out your window in a storm and see a sheep flying around the place in the wind like a pigeon?
@Maximilian Kolbe: pigs might fly,I know that for a fact
@Maximilian Kolbe: you are some feckwit,have you never heard of something being blown OFF a cliff FFS
@sean weir: watch your mouth or there will be trouble pipsqueek
Has to be climate change
@Maximilian Kolbe: You have to be a bit of a simpleton.
@Jack Hayes: Don’t look in a mirror before leaving a comment.
@Larry Betts: if the sheep were wearing covid masks this would never happen.
@Des Daly: sheep’s should have been given the Covid 19 vaccine
@Des Daly: If the queen was still alive,she would help the builders of the children’s hospital to provide shelter for injured sheep. BAM,ram,thank you ma’am.
@Larry Betts: ….what’s a tracker mortgage????
@Niaal Gannon: Never mind your tracker mortgage ffs! Who’s going to bring the horse to France?!
@Larry Betts: we have never had a queen Larry ,this is a republic
@Larry Betts: You are not funny Larry. An attention seeker you are but funny you are not.
@Sun Rise: Go back on the drink sunrise and stop worrying about other people
Probably having a baaaaa-d day.
@Karl Paul: I have seen some vile comments on the internet over the years. This is the worst I have ever seen.
@Maximilian Kolbe: You’re doing well, if that’s the worst you’ve seen.
A shady deal between the sheep and the seals that went wrong?
@Benny Colreavy: Yeah,Benny. The sheep ordered 3 light blue seals on e-baaa but when they arrived they discovered them to be navy seals who overcame them and left them for dead
@Larry Betts: They shoulda gone to the Baaaaahamas instead
@Danny O’Mahony: Sun,sx,fun ‘n’ frolics? Risky business if the boss found out they were on the lam
@Benny Colreavy: the sheep are full of cocaine.
@P. V. Aglue: Recipe: Take two legs of lamb. Preheat oven to 200 degrees (180 degrees fan oven) Put the left leg in. After 45 mins,take the left leg out. Put the right leg in. After 45 mins take the right leg out.Meanwhile,prepare a gram of Colombian nose spice and a tablespoon of Coca Cola. All night long,on alternative timings,put the left leg in,the left leg out,the right leg in,the right leg out and snort the cokey cokey.
Not a happy ewe near in Donegal this Christmas
It’s obvious that the storm washed up a shark that herded the sheep into the sea for a later snack but then the storm threw up the sharks larder, 4 sheep and a seal.
I am now launching an appeal to make sure the shark doesn’t die of starvation!
Cash in brown envelopes marked “Not political donations” to be left on the usual bench in Stephen’s Green!
