Cian O'Callaghan

Question:

255. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the position regarding European Natura 2000 sites in Northern Ireland following Brexit; if he has had any engagement with his EU and UK counterparts on this matter; if he will engage with the Northern Ireland Executive on this matter on an all-island basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have no statutory function in this matter. I would note, however, that as the UK and Northern Ireland are outside the EU, that the acquis in question do not apply, and neither we nor the EU are competent authorities for the matters raised.
