Meanwhile, gardaí in Virginia, Co. Cavan are currently investigating the theft of a quad, which was stolen from a farm in the Munterconnaught area.
Gardaí stated that the quad, a black CF Moto 450 C Force, was taken over the night of Thursday, September 7, and into the morning of Friday, September 8.

Members of the Castleblayney Community Engagement Unit hosted a property-marking event at Corduff/Raferagh community centre on Saturday, September 16.
An Garda Síochána recommends marking property with a uniquely identifiable brand in both obvious and secret locations.
Many items, from power tools to trailers to bicycles, were marked on the day. A similar event will be held next Saturday (September 23) at Blackhill Emeralds GAA pitch, Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan.
For farm security, gardaí also advise to consider installing an alarm and CCTV in vulnerable areas out of view of the farm house or to install good lighting to illuminate areas viewed from the home or covered by CCTV.
