I propose to take Questions Nos. 542 and 543 together.

The Department has not been in in contact or engaged with the National Parks and Wildlife Service or the Forestry Service in respect of the issue outlined.

This property is privately owned and in that sense, the provider has advised that a report from a contracted arborist on the felling that has occured has been provided to a representative from the National Parks and Wildlife Service. This representative also attended the site on Friday 5 May and the accommodation provider gave a statement on the matter to him.
