The Irish Deer Commission said the actual number of deer killed is likely to be significantly higher
The figures are based on required declarations from licensed hunters to the NPWS stating the number of deer culled by county, sex and species.
This is because the cull total does not include wild deer killed by poachers or"the growing number of deer killed on our roads"."Over the last five years, over 200,000 wild deer were culled in Ireland under licence from the NPWS, highlighting the important role licensed deer hunters play in managing deer at sustainable levels to minimise negative impacts on farming, forestry, and the wider ecosystem.
