The Sectoral Biodiversity Action Plan for my Department is currently being drafted. It is anticipated that this Plan will be completed before the end of this year.

However, my Department, on an ongoing basis, takes into account its responsibilities concerning biodiversity and the environmental heritage of the lands within its property portfolio. In November 2007 I launched a book, which was a joint venture between UCD and my Department, to raise awareness of the Curragh and included detailed aspects of the flora and fauna to be found there.
