A Fianna Fail councillor has said "it's time to cull the gulls" as birds wreak havoc in the city centre.
Finglas-Ballymun councillor Keith Connolly has called on Dublin City Council to look at the possibility of culling the animals. Seagulls are a protected species under EU laws but exceptions can be made in certain circumstances.
There has been a steady increase in gulls around areas of Dublin City, with some people even being forced to move out of their homes. Eggs and nests were removed from Balbriggan in May 2017, in an effort to control the seagull population.
