Pic: This Connacht rugby player will sort out those Seagulls who have “lost the run of themselves”

This man may be the hero we've been looking for...

Mata Fifita may be the hero we’ve been looking for…

One of the most ridiculous issues in the history of the world, or Ireland at least, was raised in Leinster House yesterday as Fianna Fail senator Ned O’Sullivan claimed that seagulls in Dublin have “lost the run of themselves” and said “it is a serious issue in the city”. The full story is here.

Well, Ned. We might have have a solution to the problem and it comes in the shape of Connacht rugby player Mata Fifita. The Tongan flanker, who has been with the western province since 2012, is an animal lover and seems to have a way with seagulls…

The Connacht rugby offices should be expecting a call from Ned O’Sullivan sometime later today.
