There was excitement on June 25th as dolphins were spotted swimming at Clarecastle Quay, a rare and joyful sight for locals. Jean Ryan of the Clarecastle/Ballyea Heritage & Wildlife Group captured the moment on video, showing the dolphins gliding close to the quay wall. Their appearance has sparked plenty of interest: just how common is it for dolphins to venture this far upriver? To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Mags Daly who runs the Shannon Dolphin Project on behalf of the IWDG and Jean Ryan from Clarecastle/Ballyea Heritage & Wildlife Group.
