Question 845: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will grant a licence to an industry (details supplied) to permit, under certain restrictions, the use of glue traps under the Wildlife Act 1976; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11039/09]

The use of traps, snares and nets in relation to wildlife is governed by the Wildlife Act, 1976 (Approved Traps, Snares and Nets) Regulations 2003. Glue traps do not meet the requirements set by these Regulations and are, therefore, illegal. Accordingly, I do not intend to licence the use of these traps.
