After the successful ongoing golden eagle reintroduction and last year seeing the first of the red kite and sea eagle reintroductions, perhaps the government should look at the possiblity of an osprey reintroduction. Ospreys have been successfully reintroduced into central England and there is an ongoing programn along the Mediterranean coast of Spain. A possible suitable area could be around Fermanagh, Leitrim and Sligo.
You saw the news yesterday, right?
"Only by applying the most rigorous standards do we pay writing in Irish the supreme compliment of taking it seriously." - Breandán Ó Doibhlín.
And the same thing hasn't occurred in Scotland where the sea eagle was also reintroduced? Any way as ospreys only feed on live fish I doubt poisoning will be much of a problem
if the poisoning wasn't targeted on them but foxes, etc how will eagles ever survive in places poisoning is allowed.

you would need to deploy the army to protect them
Why should species have to be here before we introduce them?
I think we should introduce species like the Eagle Owl*. It's not a re-introduction (I think) but it would certainly survive off crows and buzzards and the like.
