I would like to clarify that the designation of conservation areas for the hen harrier does not come under my Department's remit but rather that function is exercised through the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPMS) of the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. The figures in the table below, provided by the NPWS, indicate the number of landowners (by county) who were notified that their lands are designated (for the protection of the hen harrier) as Special Protection Areas (SPAs).
