At the request of the landowner concerned, an official from my Department’s regional staff recently examined the area referred to in the Deputy’s Question, to consider works that the landowner proposed to carry out to protect his lands on the banks of the River Feale. Consent was granted to the landowner, subject to some conditions, for repairs to be carried out to rock armouring, as well as for the cutting back of scrub, in accordance with Regulation 30(3) of the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011.
