I want to ask Mr. O'Driscoll about non-compliance in Natura areas. He will be aware that large areas in my county of Limerick have been designated as special areas of conservation. The National Parks and Wildlife Service has imposed specific practices on land to protect certain habitats such as that of the hen harrier. Will Mr. O'Driscoll tell me how many times the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has imposed penalties on farmers for failing to carry out particular things required by the Department or doing things that the National Parks and Wildlife Service states they should not do? If he does not have the details to hand, perhaps he might revert to me.
