Minister for Justice Helen McEntee has been urged to increase Garda numbers to tackle rural crime.
Farmers have raised a “recurring problem” of gangs of men with dogs going on to farms and threatening livestock.
The Irish Farmers Association (IFA) said that in a recent incident in Tipperary a farmer encountered men with dogs “lamping” on his land, and was badly beaten when he engaged with them.
The farmer was left with injuries including facial lacerations and fractured ribs.
