Seanad: Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (25 Sep 2019)

Seán Kyne: Before the Minister dedesignates a natural heritage area site, there must be a strategic environmental assessment and public consultation. In addition, the 2014 review has already been subject to public consultation and landowners have been informed of that review. With regard to these proposed changes, we want to make the process as transparent as possible and it is why we have agreed to...

Seanad: Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (25 Sep 2019)

Seán Kyne: The note is with regard to the grouping so I will speak on amendment No. 4. I cannot accept it at this stage but I see there is merit in what Senator Higgins is saying. I will ask the Department to look at it and check with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to see whether it can be made in the Dáil amendments, in which case it would have to come back here. I see where the...

Seán Kyne: Section 18A has its own provisions for environmental assessment, public consultation and dissemination of information to the public, the Oireachtas and Ministers. Any proposals to dedesignate would be subject to consultation with the public and Ministers. The matter is catered for, therefore, in the sections of the Bill as initiated.

Seán Kyne: Any information that is required to ensure that Ministers, Departments, public bodies or State agencies are fully knowledgeable of the intent of the order will be provided.

Seanad: Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (25 Sep 2019)

Seán Kyne: Unfortunately, I cannot accept the amendment. A future review of a natural heritage area will not be carried out in a vacuum. It will involve public consultation and will not necessarily lead to proposals for the dedesignation of natural heritage area sites. There are principles and criteria in the Bill to guide the Minister in conducting a review and making decisions such as carrying out...
