The much loved herd of Dexter Cows are set to return to Ballyloughane in Renmore in the coming weeks.

Their presence is part of a project launched two years ago - that aims to promote increased biodiversity.

Dexter cattle were chosen because they're smaller, and their unique method of eating grass creates perfect micro habitats for varied insects and fauna.

A meeting at City Hall this week heard they'll arrive again soon, once calving season is over.

Local councillor Terry O' Flaherty says they're a wonderful addition to the area.
