Par a couple of endemic subspecies of such as mountain hare, Eurasian jay, coal tit & stoat, do Ireland have any full endemic species (including plants)?
@Prochilodus246 I am no expert on this but the only example I can find fully accepted is the Poulsallagh Sea-lavender. Other plant species are regarded as subspecies or are not universally considered as their own species.
@Prochilodus246 I have done some more searching and found a few more endemic species including Killarney shad, blunt snouted Irish char and the burrow pearl mussel. I found them on this site if you would like to check it out: Animals and Plants Unique to Ireland
Thank you very much for the link, I'll be sure to delve deeper.
EDIT: I could have almost guaranteed that a whitebeam (tree) would show its face as the UK have a couple endemic ones as well. Nice to see a number of different fish too!
