Ms Shirley Clerkin:

No. I will explain the methodology. It is an accepted methodology, which was used by Woodlands of Ireland and the Heritage Council back in 2012. Twenty-one counties or parts of counties have used this methodology. We used it in 2010 and again in 2021. There are 12.5 10 km-wide squares in Monaghan, if the Deputy can visualise those in a grid. We have taken the bottom left 1 km square out of each of those 12 to do this survey. That is the same survey used for badgers and for countryside birds.
