A Kerry sheep farmer, who has had 150 sheep stolen over the last four months, from his farm said he has no choice to but install costly CCTV in a bid to catch the thieves who he believes have targeted his rural farm several times.

Denis O’Connor, who is farming in the Clydagh Valley, said he is speaking out to raise awareness of the thefts which have left him at a loss of up to €30,000.
