Amharc ar fhreagraOutline proposals for the development of a links golf course at Inch, County Kerry, were presented to my Department in 2003. Having regard to the Department's responsibilities under the EU habitats directive, the implications for the conservation of the site were thoroughly assessed. After careful consideration of the matter, my Department's response was that the development of a golf course at this site would not be compatible with the conservation requirements of the site.
