Six horses, including two foals, have been removed from a location in south Kildare by gardaí and Kildare County Council.

The action resulted from reports that had been made to gardaí about horses and sulkies being driven along the Barrow Blueway in recent weeks. 

A joint operation between the local authority and gardaí was then put in place, say the an Garda Siochana Facebook page.

‘The operation identified a location where horses were being kept in contravention of local bye-laws.

‘As a result of the coordinated action, four horses and two foals were safely removed from the site.

‘An Garda Síochána Kildare commend the collaborative efforts of all involved in achieving this positive outcome, which contributes to the continued safety and enjoyment of the Blueway for all users.”
