Will Mr. Ó Donnchú talk to me about wildlife crime, in particular, fires deliberately set by farmers, which have a devastating impact? We are not talking about tens of fires across the country but hundreds of them. Will Mr. Ó Donnchú talk about the scale of the problem, the resources in place to tackle it, the reason there not a specific wildlife crime unit and what penalties exist?

Mr. Ó Donnchú mentioned the new national park, which is obviously very welcome. I presume he is in favour of having more national parks. Does he have a view on the opportunity of taking the Conor Pass, making it a national park and rewilding it?
