A team of researchers is hoping to turn unconfirmed sightings of great white sharks in Irish waters into reality.
US non-profit research organisation Ocearch is cautiously optimistic that great whites do indeed haunt the waters around Ireland and Britain.
They’re aiming to create history by finding one off the southwest coast of Ireland.

Hopefully they can stop the boats 🦈🛶
Fleeing war and seeking sanctury to be sure
Nowhere near enough food for gw population
Biggest click bait ever😢
Now we've to try keep sharks out too! 😂
Leave em alone and put your noncey presenters in jail
Imagine doing a piece on this and not mentioning climate change! Typical inept Sky News
We also have dolphins and whales and huge tuna so its possible for great whites to be here
There’s no food here thanks to the amazing fisheries policies of the EU
We need some at the Dover straight
I hope we have great white sharks in British waters soon because I'll take my wife to the beach
Great white sharks wash up dead wherever they roam. So they arent here.
Ni
Appearing? I would be surprised if they didn’t find anything. Cornwall is a good place to do research too.
There’s enough sharks in Westminster.
Just what I’d of thought not there never been there
They won’t be around while there are Orcas .The apex predator.
My favourite part of Ireland now possibly with my favourite shark. No doubt if the seals are found by Great Whites they will come stay and bred. That will produce another tourist avenue of 'Shark Tours'. Amazing!
Callig bs
It's due to the climate change. It's so bad now that the oceans are boiling dry and billions are dying every year. It's an unprecedented crisis.
Well it doesn't surpirse me it looks like nova scotia
Be good to have them swimming in the English Channel 🇫🇷 🛶 🏴 🦈
I thought i once read great whites had been tracked off the coast of Cornwall?
As much as i love sharks i really don't want them around in these waters.
Plenty of food at Dover . Curry flavour
Lot of mud sharks in Ireland now
They trying to help stop the boats lol
The only way to find or lure a great white is to tow a dead beached whale out a few miles of the coast and anchor it.then place remote cameras filming what comes to feed.a great white could pick up the scent a 100 miles away and follow it to the carcass if they are present.
They will probably blame the British
Would be easy all we have to do is increase the Temperature of the Sea. We csn have Great Whites in the English Channel then.
So u think this is a problem 😂😂😂😂😂
No chance waters are not warm enough
😂
Why do they think we would like to have man eating sharks bopping around?
Surprised the wokes haven’t insisted on changing the name of these sharks…
Very racist and offensive name….
just cancelled my holiday to county kerry
Not sure but too many illegal immigrants are appearing in Ireland’s hotels, leave the sharks alone and deal with the real problem
I wonder if we could train the great white sharks to attack dingy boats to sink them
I don’t want sharks in Ireland. That’s one of the few privileges of swimming in Irish beaches.
Can’t they just ask the shark nicely to next time produce if not passport some i.d .. I mean is that so much to ask!! Cmon
I’m an Englishmen and always been interested in sharks and the prospect of them being closer to home.
I’d like to see a video on why they wouldn’t be in this area as appose to why they should.
The lack of evidence suggests that this would be a logical way to go imo
Right, got my budgies and snorkel.. how do I get involved please. Thanks
TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY….THIS IS A PUBLICITY STUNT AND THEY KNOW IT!
THERE IS ZERO EVIDENCE OF GREAT WHITES IN UK OR IRISH WATERS, NO SEAL PREDATION OR SIGN OF INJURY, NO SIGHTINGS BY FISHERMEN WHO ARE CHUMMING FOR FISH, NO WHITE SHARKS ACCIDENTALLY NETTED BY COMMERCIAL TRAWLING VESSEL'S 😂😂
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING….
BUT HEY…..LETS SPEND MILLIONS AMBLING UP AND DOWN OUR WATERS FINDING NOWT!😂😂
BLESS ❤
They heard the borders are open
Love how this comment section is full of racists
Their preference is baked as opposed to mashed …
Anywhere there’s Tuna or Seals there’s gonna be Great Whites
i am not scared of sharks
Maybe they can finally stop the boats
shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away.
Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then
