Ms Caitríona Ryan:

I will come in briefly on the issue of community engagement. We have a strong community engagement programme in Wicklow Mountains National Park. Last year, we had close to 4,000 hours of community work on a peatlands restoration project, including fencing, building timber dams and spreading heather brash and grass seed on top of that. We had huge community engagement there. In all our national parks, we are now tasked under our strategic action plan with being more strategic about this work. Under our strategic action plan, we want to draw up management plans for each of our national parks. Education, the volunteering programme and community engagement will all come under those management plans and we will try to have a more strategic way of managing our engagement programmes and education programmes. As Mr. Ó Donnchú said, we have a strong education programme in a lot of our national parks. We just need to work now to give it a coherent management structure. As he pointed out, we have approval now for a head of education within the national parks system, which will pull our education programme together. It is really important we bring in the schoolkids and have programmes there for them, as we do in a lot of our parks.
