Vol. 528 No. 3

Written Answers. - Habitats Directive.

Ulick Burke

Ceist:

205 Mr. U. Burke asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if a derogation under the habitats directive was sought by Ireland for turf cutters similar to derogations successfully sought and granted to Italy and Greece for tobacco growing because it impinged on their economy and the livelihoods of its people. [30256/00]

Greece and Italy neither sought nor received a derogation from the full implementation of the EU Habitats Directive. Accordingly, the question does not arise.
