For completeness, I would also advise the Deputy that, the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Science & Biodiversity Unit is required, as part of its remit, to carry out scientific monitoring and survey work on 59 habitats (which range from mountain tops and bogs, to coastal and deep sea environments), over 100 species of plants and animals and over 200 species of birds. The NPWS utilises a mixture of in-house expertise and contracted experts working closely with the scientific unit to carry out this large volume of work on an ongoing basis. My officials will be happy to respond to any request from the Deputy for further detail in respect of this work.
