Eagles poisoned ‘without a shadow of a doubt’

THE director of the project to reintroduce eagles to Killarney National Park yesterday said two white-tailed eagles found dead near Glencar, Co Kerry, had been poisoned “without a shadow of a doubt”.

However, Dr Allan Mee declined to speculate on whether the poisoning had been deliberate.

“It was probably accidental. I’d hate to think anyone would do this deliberately,” he said.
