There is no obstacle in the legislation implemented by my Department to the keeping of poultry for domestic use in residential or other areas. My Department has no plans to introduce any such legislation. However, any environmental consequences arising from the keeping of poultry in residential areas are matters that come within the remit of the local authorities.
