"The death of a number of horses and the possibility that a driver could have been seriously injured or worse, are of huge concern to us all.
"Such incidents take place in rural communities at times, when animals break loose from fenced land and action should always be taken against the animal owners involved. I hope the Garda Síochána get to the bottom of this incident and act to ensure it can’t happen in the future," he added.
