Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Business of Joint Committee
Update from Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Mr. Trevor Donnelly:
Wildlife enforcement is a big issue that involves all our field staff. The Minister announced in April his decision to accelerate the recruitment of rangers nationally and that is coming into frame already. We currently have 83 rangers nationally and that number will rise to 120 next year. That is a great resource for us to carry out front-line investigation work in all our areas.
