Three months to react to Kenmare SAC plan

REVISED proposals to expand the Kenmare river Special Area of Conservation (SAC), from 32,000 to about 42,000 hectares, will shortly be published by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.

Landowners will have a statutory timeframe of three months to seek the exclusion or inclusion of their land in the extended SAC.

Requests by landowners will be assessed on scientific grounds only.
