View answerThe area referenced is within Killarney National Park and is the responsibility of the National Parks and Wildlife Service of my Department. More specifically, the canal area is within the Killarney National Park, McGillycuddy’s Reeks and Caragh catchment SAC 365. Works of the nature described would need to be assessed for environmental impact and follow the normal procedures for capital works in a Special Area of Conservation. These works will be considered in the context of funding for capital projects within the Park in 2024.
