Ceist:285 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if she sanctioned the cordoning off of six to seven hectares of intertidal mudflat at the Boyne special preservation area in front of Drogheda grammar school since early September 1999 resulting in the denial of feeding grounds for birds in winter; the environment impact assessment or scientific data upon which this decision was based; and the action, if any, she is taking to rectify the situation.
