The person in question appealed to have part of his land included in, and part of his land excluded from, the Special Protection Area (SPA) for the Hen Harrier in Co Kerry.

My Department will shortly be writing to the applicant informing him of the outcome of this appeal. On receipt of this, he will be able to have an individual farm plan drawn up by a qualified farm planner and submitted to my Department's National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) for approval.

When the farm plan has been approved any compensation due will be paid to the applicant.
