Amusing video from the Newsflare archive of Sammy the Seal - a local celebrity in Wicklow City, Ireland - famed for begging for fresh fish from a seafood restaurant.

According to local reports, Sammy was spotted being shooed back into the sea by a fishmonger this morning (November 22).

In this file footage, Sammy is engaging in his daily ritual - emerging from the Broad Lough river and proceeding to kick up a fuss outside the restaurant.

Eventually the owner of the restaurant gives in and brings out a fish, which he gives to the expectant creature. Sammy then flops back into the water.
