Mr. James Walsh:

Yes. The letter is two pages long. It was sent out to every Department. It refers to national legislation S.I. 155/2012 which provides for restricted use of plant protection products, PPPs, in specific areas including areas used by the general public, special protected areas and special areas of conservation. It says clearly that pesticides should not be used in these areas but whether the local authorities have read it is another question. The letter was sent to them all but some might not have read it. Some of them might not understand it because there is a lot of other information in it. They might not have read it properly.
