CLARE gardai have issued a renewed appeal for witnesses to an incident in Lahinch in October when a man was struck by a horse, whose rider subsequently left the scene.

The incident occurred between 2.20pm and 2.25pm on Sunday, October 24, 2021 when a male in his forties was struck by a horse while walking on Lahinch beach close to O Brien’s Bridge, which is located at the Liscannor side of Lahinch Beach.

There was a young girl in her late teens with the horse. It is believed that the horse and the girl left in the direction of Liscannor.

The gentleman received medical attention as a result of this. Local enquiries have been conducted but the identity of the horse and jockey remain unknown.

An appeal is being made for any witnesses who may have any information to assist with the identification of the horse/ jockey or any transport that was used to contact Ennistymon Garda Station on 7072180.
