The Tellus survey, collecting the latest geological information across Ireland, is due to recommence its surveying in County Limerick, north Tipperary and west County Cork from March 2019 after a short winter break. To collect this data, the survey involves an aircraft flying at a low height (60m). The sound of the plane is similar to that of a passing lorry and it may startle sensitive animals, such as horses, pedigree cattle, sheep-in-lamb and poultry flocks. If you have concerns, particularly if you own sensitive livestock and want to be kept informed of latest flight plans, you can contact the Tellus Freephone information line on 1800 45 55 65 or visit www.tellus.ie
