Written Answers. - National Parks.
I am currently considering a recommendation made by independent consultants who were jointly commissioned by Mayo County Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service of my Department to formally recognise the State-owned lands in the Nephin Beg-Owenduff area as Ireland's sixth national park meeting international criteria. I will communicate with the Deputy further when I have completed my consideration of the matter.
