The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) of my Department has a mandate to protect important sites in Ireland for nature and biodiversity, in accordance with national and international legal obligations and in the public interest. The site in question forms an important part of Ireland’s newest National Park and our first marine National Park; Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, Ciarraí.
The NPWS will always offer every assistance to first responders in case of emergency. They will engage with the contact supplied to ensure access is facilitated to the location requested as appropriate and required.
