This month: Why the Irish Property Bubble has Already Burst  | Rare Hooded Seal Released flubber, the rare hooded seal rescued on the wexford coast in september, has been released 140 miles off the Galway coast by staff of the irish seal sanctuary with the kind assistance of the irish naval service. 
the male hooded seal was nursed back to health in the sanctuary in north county dublin, taken by road to galway on monday, and brought aboard the naval vessel l.e. niamh by sanctuary staff. normally found in the cold, deep waters well north of ireland, the rarely seen animal was in a terrible condition when discovered in late summer by a member of the public. it took several days of consultation with experts in the usa before he was identified as a hooded seal. the irish seal sanctuary, a charity run by dubliners brendan and mary price, expressed its appreciation for the help of the irish naval service in returning the fine (but a little grumpy) creature to the wild. |
