Summary
Deer on the road are causing chaos—over 1,300 collisions between 2019 and 2025, 41 with injuries, mostly in Kerry, Cork, and Wicklow. Insurance companies are feeling the strain, with one seeing nearly 500 claims since 2020, peaking in 2024. Councillors call it an out-of-control wildlife problem, and solutions are being explored: better fencing, vegetation management, warning signs, and driver awareness campaigns—all aimed at keeping both humans and deer safe.
