Return to the wild gets pupils’ seal of approval

Lucky by name — lucky by nature.

A sick seal who was found stranded on the Cork coastline last year was counting her blessings yesterday as she was released back into the wild — with a friend.

Lucky, who was found on rocks near Schull, was rescued by a veterinary surgeon and stabilised in his clinic over several days before she was transferred to the Irish Seal Sanctuary in Garristown, in north Co Dublin for treatment.
