I appreciate that. When the NPWS looks at the Glen Park or Glen Valley Park - the name used depends on where people come from - maybe it could designate it as a special area of conservation. It is in the heart of the glen, with Ballyvolane on one side and part of the northern road that was built on its periphery. An area that is so unique and in the heart of an urban setting should be given special protection.
The Conor Pass was purchased. Can we get the final purchase figure?
