Amharc ar fhreagraThe National Parks and Wildlife Service of my Department manages an extensive conservation and recreational property portfolio of some 87,000 hectares. Our 6 National Parks account for circa 65,000 hectares with another almost 22,000 hectares of nature reserves and other heritage sites. In the past 4 years more than €3m has been invested in Killarney National park including more than €330k on upgrading the road network. The roads mentioned by the Deputy are included in the Department’s future plans for investment within the park but do not form part of the budgeted works for 2020.
