Sufficient funding has been provided in my Department's estimates of expenditure for the NPWS to carry out its functions in 2007, including work in relation to the designation of nature conservation sites.

The resource requirement of NPWS and other services of my Department are however kept under ongoing review to ensure adequate service provision.
