As for the seals on the beach, which Deputy Griffin and I saw with the OPW when we were there, the OPW has a plan to improve the signage and to erect appropriate signage on the island ahead of the 2023 visitor season on foot of the requests made on the day we were there. The OPW has been in dialogue with the National Parks and Wildlife Service to make sure that this is done properly. As well as that, there will be a co-ordinated level of consultation and dialogue with the operators of the ferries, as the Deputy suggested.

As for the query about the landings on the island, aontaím leis an Teachta maidir le cúrsaí slándála ar an oileán. Cuireann sé isteach go mór orm, and I was very concerned when I was down there, to see that we are still landing people on an island of such global significance in the manner in which we are doing so. The risk is very high, and I have asked my officials to address it accordingly with Kerry County Council.
