My Department is co-ordinating the preparation of a new National Biodiversity Plan for Ireland, which will cover the period between 2008 and 2012. The implementation of the Plan will be the responsibility of a range of Government Departments and Agencies. As part of the process, my Department will be producing its own biodiversity action plan, incorporating relevant actions contained in the National Biodiversity Plan. The production of biodiversity action plans under the National Biodiversity Plan by other Departments and State Agencies is a matter for those Departments and Agencies.
