610. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in view of the internationally recognised importance of Bull Island in north Dublin as a nature reserve, and the ongoing threat to its wildlife from persons and unleashed dogs, if she will arrange for funds to be made available for the employment of a wildlife ranger and dog warden exclusively for the island; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Bull Island is monitored regularly by officers from the National Parks and Wildlife Service of my Department. There are no plans currently to deploy additional staff resources to the site. My officials will, of course, continue to support the main landowner, Dublin City Council, which is working to raise awareness and address management issues generally at the site.
