Mr. Liam Fahey:

Yes, we would have to approach it on a case-by-case basis but any Natura land that is designated under the EU directive is either an SPA or an SAC. There are specific prescriptions for each of those habitats and that is under the auspices of the NPWS, in whose gift it is to allow a farmer to do something if that farmer seeks a derogation. If NPWS does not give that, it is not allowed to be done and if the farmer proceeds to do it, there are consequences, as the Chairman knows.
