Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 November 2012
419. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the reason additional special areas of conservation were added to farmland in County Kerry (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51517/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that the land in question is part of a Special Area of Conservation first put forward for designation in 1997 and that a proposal to re-designate the site with an amended boundary was advertised and notified in 2006.
I am advised that the landowner referred to in the Deputy's Question was notified in December 2006 of the proposal to re-designate the site and did not lodge any objection to it. There have been no changes to the boundary of the site in the interim.
I am arranging to have a site information pack forwarded to the landowner.
