Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

I am happy to provide an update on this matter. A response to the representations received issued on the 21 December 2023 providing details of where the club in question may apply for a permit to host an event in the Nature Reserve.

I can confirm that a request for a permit has now been received in my Department and officials from the NPWS have advised me that they expect to issue a response this week.
