Endangered green turtle found on Irish beach is nursed back to health, set for transfer to specialized care.

A rare, endangered green turtle, believed to be one of only two ever found on Irish beaches, was discovered in critical condition on a Co Clare beach on December 23. Bev Truss, a vet nurse, nursed the turtle, named Solstice, back to health. After recovering, Solstice was moved to Dingle Aquarium for further care, with plans to transfer her to a Turtle Hospital in Gran Canaria or Miami for rehabilitation and eventual release into warm waters.
