As the councillor said, landowners in the area are custodians of that land for future generations. Currently, it is not a functioning SAC, although seen as a turlough.

I wish to bring in Ms Murray and Mr. Kearney as well. In that regard, in response to a Commencement matter that was raised in these Houses, the NPWS stated that it is currently a turlough according to its official reviews. However, there has been no assessment done of the current impact with the flood zone. How do we restore this to a functioning SAC, restore the farmland and protect the homesteads in that area as well? Does Ms Murray have any other comments to make on that?
