I’ve no issue with people having cats,but hearing their ability to kill wild animals being championed on a poplar evening current affairs radio show is very odd. It’s estimated they kill 16 million birds a year in Ireland. I think we need a bit more responsible messaging.

A government response is underway following a confirmed sighting of the Asian Hornet.
While there isn’t a significant public health risk to humans, this species is a threat to honeybee populations and biodiversity.

Beautiful nettle bed installation @TidyBelmullet Feirm an Bhaile commissioned in partnership with @CorncrakeLife a few years ago.
Urban meadow close by is full of native flower species. Great for urban pollinators and symbolic of corncrake/Great YBB habitat on the pennisula.
