Officials of my Department and I have met with landowners representing the special protection area in question. My Department also wishes to move forward with a management plan for the site, to be developed in full consultation with landowners and the relevant local authority.

My Department has recently been in contact with a representative of the landowners with a view to arranging another meeting.
