The team behind the only wildlife hospital in Ireland say they are "heartbroken" at being forced to leave their site in Co Meath as a result of local opposition to the facility.

Wildlife Rehabilitation Ireland (WRI) is appealing for help in finding a new home once again after efforts to create a permanent purpose-built hospital dedicated to sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife in Mornington were thwarted by objections to their planning application.
