A passerby said he saw the dog circling and harassing the sheep and stepped in, managing to scare it away.
The dog then ran towards the housing estate behind the old Centra shop.
Gardaí and the Dog Warden have been notified, and locals are being asked to keep an eye out - with a request for the dog’s owner to secure the animal.
The Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) recently relaunched its annual ‘No Dogs Allowed’ campaign, highlighting the growing problem of dog attacks on livestock.
This year, the IFA stressed the need for a national database linking dog licenses and microchips to owners, full enforcement of existing regulations, and harsher penalties for owners whose dogs are caught harassing livestock.
