Mr. Kenny
In preparing a long-range management programme for each national park it will be the policy, in accordance with internationally established guidelines, to segregate certain areas for the scientific study and protection of flora and fauna.
I take it that in those areas if a tree falls down it will be left where it has fallen?
Mr. Kenny
Yes, in certain areas. There are about four different categories but on the question in which the Deputy is interested it will be just left in its natural state.
