Five thousand badgers were culled in Ireland last year and a further 7,000 were vaccinated for Tuberculosis (TB) as part of a Department of Agriculture prevention programme.

Concerns for the future of badgers have helped stall plans for a €141 million 118 MW solar farm for a 428 acre site within the townlands of Cadamstown, Ballina, Clonuff and Garrisker in Co Kildare.

The latest figures from the Police Service of Northern Ireland show there were 86 potential badger persecution offences reported in the three years from 2019 and 2021.
