Neighbours discovered the woman laying on the ground near a private residence and called for assistance. An air ambulance quickly arrived and took the woman to hospital where she received treatment for a number of injuries, including broken ribs. She remains in hospital.
It's understood that the stag had no fear of humans and was familiar to locals. He would approach homes for food in the evening times. RTÉ reports that the stag was subsequently shot by a trained huntsman who was called on by authorities. The National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Irish Deer Commission regularly remind the public to keep their distance from wild deer. A distance of at least 50 metres is recommended and the public are warned not to feed them.
Conjwalsh If they shoot stags so easily, for merely defending it's territory, they should employ a huntsman permanently in Temple Bar to sort out those foreign stags.
Hope she recovers and has no life threatening or altering injuries. Not sure why they killed the Stag though...did it not happen in his environment where he has the potential to act/react like this?
