LOCALS in Doolin are growing angry with a small group of visitors who are ignoring advice from residents and continuing to get in the water with Dusty the dolphin.
Despite national and international media coverage for Dusty’s numerous dust-ups with the public over the past 10 days, swimmers did attempt to swim with the dolphin over the weekend.
“One lady did try to enter the water and swim with her – despite all the warnings. There is no getting through to some people,” a local told The Clare People .
It has also been revealed that Dusty is unlikely to leave Doolin as a result of recent violent interactions with swimmers – indeed, these interactions could actually encourage her to stay forever.
