Volunteers will release a seal back into the sea today, which turned up on the coastline close to death.

'Bo' was just three weeks old and weighed a quarter of what he should when he took refuge on Greystones beach in County Wicklow.

The Irish Seal sanctuary has spent the last four months nursing him back to health and will return the mammal to his natural Irish sea habitat after lunch.

The seal sanctuary now say that the signs are there that the seal will survive.
