Robert Troy

Question:

275 Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the position regarding the reintroduction of a licence in respect of an organisation (details supplied) in County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29791/11]

Written answers

Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Deputy Jimmy Deenihan)

The Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2010 prohibited activities that formerly were carried out under licence by the organisation concerned. It is not, therefore, possible to issue a licence as referred to in the Deputy's Question.
