Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 December 2015
58. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the action she will take to address concerns regarding the survival of the Golden Eagles in County Donegal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43496/15]
View answerI refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No 66 today. The issues affecting the long-term survival of golden eagles re-introduced over the last 15 years are complex. My Department and the Golden Eagle Trust will meet in the coming weeks to review the performance of the project to date and will examine what genuinely effective options are available in the short and medium term. My Department will then be in a position to decide if further discussions with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in regard to agri-environment measures would be useful.
