Well, US non-profit research organisation Ocearch believe great whites do indeed roam the depths around Ireland and Britain. "It would be the shark heard around the world," Chris Fischer, founder of Ocearch, previously told Sky News. For decades, the possibility of great whites in British or Irish seas has remained a mystery. There has never been a confirmed great white shark sighting in British or Irish waters; however, scientists believe the conditions are perfect. Shark expert Dr Nick Payne, assistant professor at Trinity College Dublin's School of Natural Sciences, is the lead Irish scientist on the new Ocearch expedition.
