Written answers

Regulation 27(9)(b) of the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011 provides that a Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht may request a public authority to take such steps as the Minister considers are necessary to ensure compliance with or enforcement of the Birds and Habitats Directives and the 2011 Regulations. There are no plans to compel local authorities to install cattle grids to protect Natura 2000 sites.
