A site in County Wexford proposed to the Society as 'a wonderful breeding place for seabirds'. Today, the Saltee Islands remain a haven for birds like gannets, puffins, razorbills and Manx shearwaters. The islands are a Special Area of Conservation (SAC; European designation). Although privately owned, visitors are welcome.
