As many as 60 sheep are missing from a farm on Kerry's Mount Brandon, and Gardaí are treating the incident as a case of livestock theft.
A segment about the theft featured on RTÉ's nine o'clock news on Sunday night, reporting that the livestock are worth thousands of euro to their owner, Mikey Joe O'Shea.

Mikey tells his story in his own words, through one of the thickest West Kerry accents we've ever heard.
