Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 January 2005
1353 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he has received representations to reduce the acreage of a special area of conservation (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he has given consideration to these representations. [1419/05]
View answerThe lands known locally as the Spit of Inch are located in candidate special area of conservation, cSAC, 000343 Castlemaine Harbour. While I have received representations recently concerning the use of the lands at Inch, these did not seek reduction of the extent of the cSAC. An appeal was lodged in 1997 against inclusion of lands at Inch in the cSAC, but, in view of High Court proceedings, the appellants did not pursue the appeal.
