An elderly person has been hospitalised with serious injuries following a dog attack in Newmarket on Fergus.
The Clare County Dog Warden has confirmed that after being set upon by a German Shepherd, the person suffered multiple bites causing extensive damage, which may require surgery.
In a separate incident in Newmarket, a young girl was injured when also bitten by a German Shepherd, while a woman walking on the grounds of the University of Limerick suffered bites from a brown Bull Terrier.
The Bull Terrier in question was contained by the Dog Warden earlier today after remaining loose on the Clare side of the campus following the attack.
