TWO Irish farmers have gone viral after appearing on TV as part of a news appeal for their missing sheep.
Mikey Joe O'Shea and Richie Griffin spoke to RTÉ News about how sheep had gone missing from their two separate flocks.
Mr O'Shea explained how he had brought his large flock down from the mountain, only to discover 50 sheep were missing, the majority of which he believes were stolen.

I've got strong #Kerry roots, but even I have trouble understanding this accent. It's like Jackie Healy-Rae on acid. https://t.co/bKj5Jm3VrL
