One of the first two White-tailed Eagles to fledge successfully from a nest in co Clare in 2013 has been found dead in Tipperary. 

According to Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, the young male eagle was reared by a pair of White tailed Eagles at a nest on Lough Derg near Mountshannon Co Clare and successfully flew from the nest in July of last year along with its siblings. 

The last  confirmed sighting was of one of the two juveniles near Dromineer Co Tipperary 

However recently a dead White tailed Eagel was found near Ballinderry in North Tipperary.

A subsequent post mortem by pathologists at the Regional Veterinary  Laboratory showed the young eagle had been shot.

Hundreds of farmers including many from Co Tipperary have demonstrated outside the Dail today highlighting how the prices being paid to them for beef by certain beef processing plants are being cut.

Their concerns stem from a reduction in demand from the processors for certain types of cattle, despite farmers having been of the understanding that there would be a market for those animals.

Today's protest was organised by the Irish Farmers Association. 
The organsisation's president Eddie Downey said that prices need to be restored and more live export markets should be opened up to secure the future of the beef industry.

Speaking to Tipperary Mid West Radio this morning Junior Minister at the Department of Agriculture Tom Hayes said that it is a situation that should never have been allowed to arise and that consultation is needed to resolve it.
