A TD has called for a deer cull after he was involved in a crash with one.
Jackie Cahill was unharmed but his car was damaged when the animal collided with it on Sunday night.
The deputy says the numbers are 'out of control' and claims they're causing issues for farmers as well as motorists.
John Tierney, spokesperson for the Association of Hunt Saboteurs, says a census should be carried out before anything else happens:
"So simply, we don't know how many deer we have in this country, so it's very easy for vested interests like farmers, shooters to say "Oh, we have too many deer. We've got to kill them. We've got to cull them. But we don't have that factual evidence that says that deer do need to be controlled. And that's something that, for some reason in this country, everything is get the gun, kill the wildlife problem, the problem will be solved".
