Seagreen, Iceland is 1,000 miles northwest of Ireland, near Greenland, not Ireland. In Europe, Sweden and Norway are closer to Iceland than Ireland. The only commonality between Ireland and Iceland are 6 letters of the alphabet.

@Murph46: Your sentences read as if you have been hitting the sauce............Leave off the bottle for a while and see if you can put some coherent sentences together and make me understand you.

organise some snorkling for politicoes,of course the whale predators are amateur compared to the mp,s,but seeing how out of their depth they have been with the economy,i would like to see them take the plunge with the killer whales,they would either become best friends ,having so much in common,or the whales would eat them and die of food poisoning.

I haven't a clue what some (most?) of the previous comments are about. Marvellous to see these predators in Irish waters, I'll have to head for Donegal to see if I can see them for myself. What was the "strong language "warning about? I turned the volume up full and didn't hear a single "Bless me!" or anything similar!

Surprising that Killer Whales are not seen more frequently off Donegal...Iceland with one of the largest concentrations of these whales has a similiar coastline, water depth, and species of fish as the northwest Irish coast. Might be interesting to note if there is an increase in the seal population. Where there are seals, you will find Killer Whales...

@Murph46: I don't even make a comment and you attack me..........I really must be inside your head in a bad way.............I don't think you have to worry about whales eating you. They don't eat rubbish.
