One of Ireland's best-known wild animals, the Sika deer, has been
declared an invasive species in the European Union, raising
questions around whether it must now be culled. The smallest of
the country’s three wild deer, Sika was added to the EU list of
alien invasive species of union concern last summer. Its
inclusion means countries must eradicate the deer, control their
populations or prevent their arrival in the first place.

Damien Hannigan, Irish Deer Commission
Spokesperson joined Pat Kenny on the show to discuss.
