Westmeath when he saw three store cattle killed in an incident on Saturday evening (May 15). Taking to social media, he gave an account of what happened. Some eye opener this evening. 3 good store cattle fried with either @ESBNetworks or lightening down a pole and stay wire as I passed by the field A white flame fire �� . It lifted the cattle clean off the ground and they were probably stone dead before landing. pic.twitter.com/Pwekzdx8ga— Ciaran Lynch (@CiaranL1808) May 15, 2021
