Deputies Michael Fitzmaurice and Eamon O' Cuiv raised the issue of the Wildlife Amendment Bill, which would allow for the review and potential alteration of natural heritage area designations.

Deputy Fitzmaurice said the Government seems to have no idea of the untold damage the delay is doing in rural areas.
Deputy O' Cuiv argued we need a date immediately for when the bill will be brought before the Dáil so it can be passed as soon as possible.
