A Lahinch surfer has saved an ‘exhausted’ sheep from drowning after the sheep had fallen off a cliff edge at the Clare seaside resort.
Johnny Casey was out surfing waves at Lahinch at the southern end of the beach when he spotted the ‘marooned’ sheep in a little cave on a ledge at the cliffs.
With the tide coming in, there was a real fear that the sheep would drown and he went about rescuing the female sheep.

Mr Casey, with the help of a family member of the sheep’s owner, rescued it.
The two reached the prom and placed the sheep on a rope and Johnny escorted her up the village to wait for a tractor to transport the sheep back to her home farm.
