    Such a silly idea.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    I'd be all for it. It'd be a howl.

    Would be disastrous to the wolves on this island. Wolves hunt in a pack and hunt prey that will feed the pack. So foxes won't do and most wolves avoid badgers as they cannot afford a life altering injury. They would be drawn to sheep herds or cattle and end up shot by the farmers. Wolves are considered sacred on my mother's side and I would never support an idea that would decimate them.

    The wolves and bears had their time on your island and now it is over. Let sleeping dogs lie as they say.

    We were warned about this 35 years ago FFS! Eamon Ryan was plenty old to remember this.

    No.

    Look very closely at this wolfs eye's and then tell me if you would think this amazing creature would be happy tied down to a part of one of Irelands small counties. The wolf needs vast expances of land to travel with no human interaction at all.
    Bringing a creature like this back to roam in a tiny area of Ireland and to obviously get shot by many farmers is not a good habitat for them. If you love wolves like I do, then in all honesty I think they should not be intruduced back onto this land, for their own well-being.

    Many folk out there might love the idea, but they just see it as a nice addition to the country-side without thinking ahead of the perils the wolf will find itself in regarding available land to roam.

    Individual people have different thoughts and understanding in regard to others opinions, but the problem is this... there are some people out there that will do everything in their power to cut you off when they do not like your opinion even when it is truth.

    Reports this morning that our esteemed Taoiseach made a reference he’d be sooner bringing wolves back to Ireland than having sf in govt.

    Pretty disappointing he is seeking to drag politics into what is an ecological issue. Wolves SHOULD be reintroduced. No need to do cheap political jibes about it.

    It's the howling in a Kerry accent I'm having trouble with.

    (Although it might be indistinguishable from the native species Healius Rayus)
