The land in question is in an area that has been identified by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government as a proposed special protection area for the hen harrier. That Department has set up a working group to establish the most appropriate management regime for these areas in so far as forestry is concerned. Representatives of this Department, along with representatives of forestry and farming interests, are on this group. This work is ongoing.
