Committee on Public Petitions
Consideration of Public Petition on a Ban on Herbicides in Public Areas: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. James Callery:
It has proven to be challenging to monitor the all-Ireland pollinator plan actions. I know the heritage officer has been working to try to get staff to map the actions that they are doing. We are aware there are more actions happening than are actually mapped, and the feedback we were getting from staff involved is that they just did not get time to get around to mapping their actions. It is not a long process and it would take about ten minutes maximum to upload an action onto the map, but they are not finding the time to do it. Our heritage officer is herself trying to record some of the bigger actions that are happening in the county but we are conscious we do not have full records of every area.
