Three pilot whales rescued from bay

Three pilot whales were successfully refloated, for a second time, after coming ashore in Brandon Bay in west Kerry yesterday.

However, an appeal has been issued for vigilance by locals, holidaymakers and beachgoers in the area in the event of a further stranding of the whales.

There have also been calls for the establishment of a permanent stranding group dedicated to keep a watch out for whales, dolphins and other marine life.
