I am fully committed to meeting Ireland's legal obligations under the Habitats Directive. In that regard, I have already made substantial additional provisions to the Habitats Regulations 1997 in the Habitats (Amendment) Regulations 2005. I envisage making further amending regulations in this active area of EU law.
