The disposal of a 62ft fin whale washed up on a beach near South Kerry at the weekend is proving a challenge, Kerry County Council's chief veterinary officer has said after visiting the site on Monday.

The 50-tonne whale was found at Baile Uí Chuill Strand, Ballinskelligs having washed up overnight on Saturday.
