Should we introduce snakes back into the wild in Ireland?

Every other European country has snakes in the wild, even the Scandanvian countries. Is it time to re-introuduce them here?

xLexie · 27-02-2013 04:22PM

Enough snakes in this country thanks

rgmmg · 27-02-2013 04:23PM

A nice to have perhaps. Think we have more important issues though.

Well they seem to be happy enough in the Dail....

Only in the Burren. Then we can have Snakes on a...............Plain.

Mr Benevolent · 27-02-2013 04:24PM

We have Fianna Fail, Fianna Gael, Sinn Fein and Labour. Four is more than enough.

As far as I'm aware there have never been snakes in Ireland.

Edit - There have been many moons ago. Don't think it'd be a good idea though.

We've got plenty of ladders, not enough snakes.

Time to even the balance out muthafreakers!

kylith · 27-02-2013 04:25PM

Yeah. Lets introduce more non-native predators to decimate our wildlife. What a genius, genius idea.

Sky King · 27-02-2013 04:26PM

Yes. Bring them in on a plane.

A thriving population of snakes can be found here.

Absolutely hilarious and original. :rolleyes:

gobnaitolunacy · 27-02-2013 04:29PM

There never was a population of snakes here at least not since the Ice Age....but if you mean 'schnakes'...that would be another matter.

Originality is not AHs strong point I see.

The Pheasant · 27-02-2013 04:29PM

There hasn't been snakes in ireland since the last ice age, what warrants bringing them back? It's not like they've been hunted out or something

crockholm · 27-02-2013 04:29PM

What would st. patrick say?

Wut? You mean you believe St Patrick drove them, and any evidence of snakes existing in Ireland, out of the country.

I have a bridge for sale if you are interested.

donvito99 · 27-02-2013 04:31PM

Bring on the snakes.

So long as the OP and his like fúck off to Oz.

seven_eleven · 27-02-2013 04:32PM

I would love to see snakes in Ireland. Little harmless happy grass snakes. So cute

The EU might fix it for us, so we're line with the rest of the Reich.:D

Wild Boar/Bear anyone?

space_man · 27-02-2013 05:00PM

we already have!
judging by the amount of TDs, councillors and party hacks down my way.

smash · 27-02-2013 05:09PM

Lets flush some turtles and some nuclear waste down the toilets and see what happens!

Sky King · 27-02-2013 05:10PM

When they get out of control bring in some bears to kill them. Then winter will come along and the bears will freeze to death.

hyperborean · 27-02-2013 05:13PM

Did anyone mention the politicians yet?

Boombastic · 27-02-2013 05:13PM

Re-introduce???

I don't they were ever here in the first place, unless you believe St. Patrick

Pilotdude5 · 27-02-2013 05:19PM

Are you not content with the common lizards we have?

BBDBB · 27-02-2013 05:21PM

All the snakes got locked in safes

Plazaman · 27-02-2013 05:23PM

They wouldn't even be here a year until BAM!!! Tesco Snake Burgers (100% Beef)

_GOD_ · 27-02-2013 05:24PM

Re-introduce the dash of coke and then we can talk about re-introducing other extinct creatures

Should we introduce snakes back into the wild in Ireland?
