Minister Malcolm Noonan says he hopes "as many people as possible" get to see the white tailed eagles and their new chicks soaring through Killarney skies this summer.
The impressive raptors, which have a wing span of over six feet, have returned to nest in the old oak woods in Killarney National Park this year.
It follows a flagship reintroduction project that kicked off in 2007 with the release of 100 young white-tailed eagles in the Co Kerry park. The eagles subsequently dispersed across Ireland.
