The Senator who complained about Dublin's seagulls 'losing the run of themselves' says he's preparing a file for the government on the problem.

Ned O'Sullivan says he stands by his comments in the Seanad, which attracted attention from around the world in July.

Senator O'Sullivan said he was worried about children "being dispossessed of their lollipops".

But he says the media made light of a serious issue - and he's going to raise the issue again.

"I've done a small bit of research since - every major city in Europe, and throughout the world, has a seagull programme and policy.

"I'll be raising it pretty soon in the new term in the Seanad, with perhaps a bit more factual basis to back up what initially was a reaction I was getting from people in Dublin."
