Minister of State for Heritage and Electoral Reform, Malcom Noonan TD
Junior Minister Malcom Noonan has commended the work of agencies including the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) after a turf cutting contractor was fined recently.
The contractor was fined after cutting turf in a protected 'Natural Heritage Area Raised Bog', contrary to Section 19 of the Wildlife Amendment Act 2000.
"In an era of a biodiversity crisis, this case is an example of the great work being undertaken by a renewed NPWS with other agencies to investigate and secure prosecutions for the protection of nature," Noonan said.
"We all have a role to play in the conservation of our most precious habitats and species and I would encourage the reporting of wildlife crimes to the relevant authorities."
