Aurochs & Myths relating to bulls?

Hi all, Just some idle curiosity! Is there any evidence that the extinct European Aurochs species ever made it to Ireland. Many thanks G

Not sure about in Ireland....but will be interesting to see if they can succeed in 'resurrecting' the species.

I am not sure if they were here in the Pleistocene but once people got here in the Mesolithic they were not present. If they occurred here they really should show up in Mesolithic sites but they haven't.
