A swan was killed in a Swords hit-and-run on Sunday.
And an outraged community is calling for protection for the animals to prevent further tragedies. Independent4Change Councillor Dean Mulligan wants new fences to be set up close to a lake to protect the swans.
It follows several incidents in recent weeks where swans have been left injured by cars, while Northwood in Santry has also been described as an area of concern. Cllr Mulligan told Dublin Live that the land where the swans are currently nesting is not owned by the council.
