To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if agreement has been reached between the NPWS and Galway County Council in relation to method statements that are required to be agreed with the NPWS as part of the planning conditions of the upgrade of the road between Bunakill and Oughterard on the N59, before the upgrade works on this road can progress; if not, if discussions are ongoing in relation to these statements; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A method statement prepared by Galway County Council which outlines the methodology and environmental mitigation for the installation of 10km of fencing works along the N59 (Bunnakill to Oughterard) as part of the overall N59 Maam Cross-Oughterard Project, was approved in October 2019 following discussions between Galway County Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service of my Department. I am advised that fencing works are nearing completion. No other method statements are under discussion or are being considered by the National Parks and Wildlife Service for the Bunnakill to Oughterard section of the N59 at this present time.
