Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 June 2023
382. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if the National Parks and Wildlife Service's attention has been drawn to the spraying and-or poisoning of lands at a location in Celbridge, County Kildare (details supplied). [31020/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that NPWS has recently received several reports pertaining to the erection of fencing and that of signage including wording stating that poison was laid on lands at a location in Celbridge, Co. Kildare. These reports are currently the subject of an investigation by NPWS and it will liaise with other relevant authorities in the course of its investigation as required. As this matter is on-going, I cannot provide any further information at this time.
I would note that publicly owned and managed lands in this area have won several awards for its biodiversity care.
