Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 March 2013
123. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the extent to which any new sites, buildings or regions have come under and-or European protection regulations or directives in the past three years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13363/13]
View answer127. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will indicate the number and location of any new special areas of conservation or other conservative measures adopted over the past two years; the number, if any, pending; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13368/13]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 123 and 127 together.
The table sets out is a list of sites which have been afforded protection under European law through notification of an intention to designate the site as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), further to obligations under the Habitats Directive; notification of an intention to designate the site as a Special Protection Area (SPA), further to obligations under the Birds Directive, or designation of the site as an SPA further to obligations under the Birds Directive.
All SACs and SPAs for which an intention to designate has been notified will be formally designated through Statutory Instrument.
I am advised that no buildings have come under European Directives or Regulations relating to heritage conservation and protection in the last three years.
