Keeping rabies out of Ireland

Sunday, 28 September 2008

The public can help to keep Ireland free from rabies by respecting restrictions on animal movements, according to the Veterinary Companion Animal Society.

The disease kills 55 thousand people every year and is usually transmitted through bites from cats, dogs or bats.

Ireland is one of only 13 countries around the world that does not have the disease.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.
