A family say they are "over the moon" at the return of their stolen therapy pony.

The eight-year-old pony, called Cream, was taken from Clonmel in County Tipperary on Saturday 29 June.

It was found by ³Ò²¹°ù»å²¹Ã­ (Irish police) in Cork, about 100km (62 miles) away, on Thursday after a public appeal.

Owner Anthony Fitzgerald collected the animal, which acts as a therapy pony for his daughter Erin who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair.

Cream, who was microchipped, was found on the north side of Cork city and was looked after by officers at Mayfield Garda Station until the morning.
