Any breaches of the EIA (Agriculture) Regulations (SI 456 of 2011, as amended) that are brought to my Department's attention are investigated.
In cases, prohibition notices may issue and be followed up where appropriate to ensure they are being adhered to. Re-instatement notices may also be issued where necessary, and there may also be follow-up action in that regard.
My Department does not comment on any specific individual cases, however, information regarding the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) (Agriculture) Regulations can be found at: gov.ie- Environmental Impact Assessment (Agriculture) Regulations (www.gov.ie)
