Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

Bird Population in Ireland: BirdWatch Ireland

Ms Oonagh Duggan:

It is, yes.

I enjoyed reading about the success in the conservation of the roseate tern on Rockabill Island. I know it is only one of many really important interventions and conservation efforts. The white-tailed eagle was also mentioned. The reintroduction of the golden eagle in Glenveagh National Park has been really important. I know that was difficult. Is there enough focus on conservation and managed reintroduction of bird species on the part of the Department?
