The government will intervene to support Dublin Zoo and Fota Wildlife Park.

The Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said a bailout from the government will be provided to help keep the two parks survive COVID-19 enforced closures.

This morning, Dublin Zoo warned it may have to close permanently due to the lack of revenue from visitors with Fota Wildlife Park facing similar problems.

It cost 75 euro a day to keep an elephants belly full, and Dublin Zoo has 9.

The food bill for the over 400 species that live at the zoo is half a million euro per month.

You can adopt an animal or make a donation on Dublin Zoo's website.
