A young dolphin has died this week after washing up on a Dublin beach, with a local group calling for answers.
On Friday 5 May, the body of a young common dolphin was discovered at Killiney Beach towards the White Rock, and its body was removed by Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council's Beach Department. It is understood than an autopsy has not yet been completed on the animal and currently its cause of death is unknown.
A spokesman for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council confirmed to Dublin Live: "On Friday afternoon the carcass was disposed of accordingly. There was no obvious explanation to us as to what had caused the death of the dolphin."
