Illegal camping and dumping were very high on the agenda. The Deputy has raised the issues with me previously as has Deputy Heydon. I have asked that the forum would specifically look into these ongoing problems on the Curragh plains.

The Deputy spoke about the horseracing sector and horses being ridden out on the Curragh Plains. I am not sure if that was discussed at the last meeting, but I will get back to the Deputy to let her know.

The Deputy previously spoke to me about road closures around the rifle range area. I do not want to be flippant in saying this, but this is the middle of the Curragh and residents understand that on occasions the roads have to be closed. I have asked the Defence Forces to communicate through social media, in local newspapers and on local radio to inform the general public if they are to close roads.
