Galway Bay fm newsroom - County Cathaoirleach James Charity has renewed his call for robust legislation to deal with the control of stray horses at various hotspots.
It comes as a dead foal was taken from an area of commonage or private land and dumped at the roadside adjacent to the N84.
Councillor Charity became aware of the incident on Saturday evening and it's understood the animal is to be removed today.
The Independent councillor argues there should be a single body to have overall responsibility for dealing with such incidents and that the body requires teeth to enfore legislation.
He told Keith Finnegan on Galway Talks that the incidents occur at the same hotspots and without decisive action will continue.
The Cathaoirleach says animal welfare and road safety are major concerns at the N84 location and it's time to get to grips with the situation.
