John McGuinness
Ceist:193 Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the reason the declaration under regulation 3(1)(A) of the European Communities Wildlife Act 1976 (Amendment) Regulations 1986 (S.I. No. 254 of 1986) allows for derogation to control both feral and wood pigeons for crop protection and in case of feral pigeons the declaration allows for an additional month of control for that purpose; if he will outline the rationale for this distinction bearing in mind that wood pigeons would seem more likely to cause crop damage than feral pigeons; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
