MEETING LATER ON DISPOSAL OF SPERM WHALE ON OMEY ISLAND

Date Published: 04-Jan-2012

Gardaí are continuing their investigations after teeth were taken from a whale washed up in Omey Island over the Christmas.

The lower jaw, with the sperm whales teeth was cut off and removed, which is illegal in this country.

Meanwhile, police in Britain say they're not going to take action against a teenager who advertised part of a dead whale in Norfolk on Facebook.

Galway county council staff will meet later to make a decision on how to dispose of the 40 foot sperm whale that washed up dead on Omey Island on the 27th of December.
