339. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will join the Island of Jersey in condemning the Faroe Islands' barbaric 'grindarap', which involves the annual massacre of thousands of whales and dolphins. [32392/23]
View answerThe International Whaling Commission (IWC) was established in 1946 as the global body responsible for management of whaling and conservation of whales. It is an inter-governmental organisation with a current membership of 88 governments from all over the world. Ireland joined the IWC in 1985.
Ireland maintains a pro-conservation position with respect to cetaceans and all cetaceans are protected under the EU’s Habitats Directive. While the EU is not a party, as the IWC pre-dates its foundation, EU Member States who are parties to the IWC act jointly in the interests of the Union and adopt a pro-conservation position at meetings of the IWC.
In December 2021, the Slovenian Presidency of the European Council issued a statement from IWC Contracting Governments that are members of the EU, including Ireland, which condemned the 'cruel and unnecessary killing of over 1,400 Atlantic white-sided dolphins' in the Faroe Islands 'grind' which took place in September 2021.
Furthermore, the statement called on the Faroese Government to immediately stop the practice of whale and dolphin hunting and provide the same strict cetacean protection as EU Member States and as provided by relevant multilateral agreements.
Denmark, in addition to its membership of the EU, has an independent role as the State responsible for the Faroe Islands, which is not a member of the EU and therefore not bound by EU law. In this latter capacity, Denmark did not participate in the Statement.
There has been no change to Ireland's position on the matter since the statement was issued.
340. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if officials from the Office of Public Works can provide details of what birds nest on Scattery Island, County Clare; what measures are taken to conserve their habitat; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32477/23]
View answerScattery Island is designated as a Special Area of Conservation (Lower River Shannon SAC 2165), and part of the island is classified as a Special Protection Area (River Shannon and River Fergus Estuaries SPA 4077). Scattery Island is an important site for both breeding (nesting) birds and wintering birds. During the spring and summer season, the following birds have been observed breeding on the island: Kestrel, Raven, Chough, Shelduck, Ringed Plover and Oystercatcher. Passerines such as Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Wren, Stonechat, Blackbird and Starling occur there too, amongst others. The island also has breeding Hen Harrier.
The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) of my Department has recently commissioned a Strategy for Hen Harrier on Scattery Island for the period 2024-2034. This strategy will set out appropriate measures for conserving and enhancing the island for Hen Harrier and wildlife on the island. Currently, NPWS and the Office of Public Works coordinate together to manage the site for wildlife, locals and visitors alike.
At present, measures to conserve breeding bird habitat on the island include: predator control, reducing disturbance (through path closure, visitor management, timing of works), the presence of a warden during the breeding season, and education and interpretation on-site.
341. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if his Department has been made aware of any reports relating to the potential harmful effects of polystyrene foam on bird populations; if his Department can cite evidence related to any potential risk to birds from polystyrene foam; if so, the steps that his Department will take to mitigate any harm to local bird populations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32692/23]
View answerExpanded polystyrene foams (EPS) are widely used as packing, material for household appliances and in construction. Polystyrene is very inert and this characteristic causes polystyrene to last a long time in the natural environment, which poses a litter hazard as the material is typically thrown away after an extremely short useful lifespan. Plastic pollution, and its effects on wildlife, has probably been researched more in the marine environment compared to terrestrial or freshwater environments. Research has shown that foamed polystyrene litter can result in leaching of toxins into the ocean (via sun exposure and wave action), and some animals, including seabirds, can mistake macro-particles for food and/or consume it indirectly via ingestion of other prey species e.g. fish. Thus for seabirds, for example, depending on their exposure to these and other plastics and their derived additives, a number of effects can arise including impacts in terms of poorer overall health and survival (due to impaired feeding and subsequent malnutrition), as well as indirect effects such as impaired reproductive performance.
The Marine Strategy Framework Directive 2008/56/EC and EU Directive 2019/904 are working towards addressing the wildlife-related impacts from single-use plastics, including in the marine environment. These aim to regulate plastics use (e.g. via restrictions on placing on the market, promoting a circular economy) and the disposal of plastics across EU Member States, including Ireland, in order to see a meaningful positive change in the overall reduction of plastics litter in the wider environment.

342. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the actions being taken by the National Parks and Wildlife Service in relation to an ongoing fuel leak into the Slaney river below the waterworks at Tullow; whether the impact of this oil leak on the SAC, in particular the pearl mussel and salmon populations, has been ascertained; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32038/23]
View answerRegional National Parks and Wildlife Service staff in Carlow were made aware of the fuel leak in recent weeks and have liaised with Inland Fisheries Ireland staff and the Local Authority, who have led on the incident.
Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI), under the aegis of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, is the agency responsible for the protection, management and conservation of Ireland’s inland fisheries, including for Salmon. It is IFI which has primary responsibility in this matter.
The National Parks and Wildlife Service has responsibility for national monitoring and reporting of the conservation status of Freshwater Pearl Mussel.
The main population of Freshwater Pearl Mussel is found in the Derreen tributary of the Slaney. The impact of the oil leak on the species has not been ascertained. However due to the size of the receiving waterbody, flows and distance to the nearest mussel population, it is expected that any oil will have been sufficiently dispersed as to not directly impact on populations in the main channel of the Slaney. .
343. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage when he and his Department officials will issue a substantive response to a person (details supplied). [32042/23]
View answerI understand that a substantive response to the correspondence referred to was issued in relation to this matter recently (6 July). I am also advised that my Department suggested a meeting to discuss the various elements of the proposed works in detail and to provide further advice.
344. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will consider introducing a €50,000 grant scheme to support individuals who are self-building their first-time home; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32046/23]
View answerGovernment is focused on the actions already set out in Housing for All to support prospective homeowners and first-time buyers, including those wishing to build their own homes.
The Help-to-Buy scheme is an incentive for first-time buyers to help with their deposit for purchasing or self-building a new home. The scheme has already helped some 39,000 first-time buyers.
The Local Authority Home Loan is available to those wishing to purchase or self-build. This loan is a government-backed mortgage for first-time buyers or 'Fresh Start' applicants.
The Ready-to-Build scheme also supports those seeking to build their own home. Under the scheme local authorities can make serviced sites in towns and villages available to potential individual purchasers and self-builders, with sites to be provided at a discount on market value for home-owners wishing to build for occupation as their principal private residence.
Finally, consideration is currently being given to expanding the First Home shared equity scheme to include self-builds. The scheme aims to support up to 8,000 households to bridge an existing affordability gap by providing buyers with part of the purchase price in return for the scheme taking an equity stake in their home. At present, the scheme applies nationally to newly built homes in private developments. However, at my request the First Home Scheme Designated Activity Company, run on behalf of scheme participants, is examining the scope to expand the scheme to cover self-build houses.
In this context, I do not believe it necessary at this time to introduce a further grant scheme.
345. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he is aware that some applicants for the croí cónaithe fund schemes are unable to access finance to allow them to complete the necessary works on their property to avail of the grant; if there is any bridging finance available for cases like this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32115/23]
View answerPathway 4 of Housing for All sets out a blueprint to address vacancy and make efficient use of our existing housing stock. In July 2022 the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant was launched to support bringing vacant and derelict properties back into use. From 1 May 2023, a grant of up to a maximum of €50,000 is available for the refurbishment of vacant properties for occupation as a principal private residence and for properties which will be made available for rent, including the conversion of a property which has not been used as residential heretofore, subject to appropriate planning permission being in place.
Where the refurbishment costs are expected to exceed the standard grant of up to €50,000, a maximum top-up grant amount of up to €20,000 is available where the property is confirmed by the applicant to be derelict or where the property is already on the local authority’s Derelict Sites Register, bringing the total grant available for a derelict property up to a maximum of €70,000.
The grant is available in respect of vacant and derelict properties built up to and including 2007, in towns, villages, cities and rural areas.
A maximum of two grants are available to any applicant, of which one must be in respect of a home they intend to occupy as their principal private residence and the other may be in respect of a property which will be made available for rent.
The property must be vacant for two years or more at the time of grant approval and proof of vacancy is required to support grant applications.
The grant process involves the local authority receiving, reviewing and validating applications and arranging for a qualified person to visit the property to check that it is possible to do the work and to assess the proposed cost. Following confirmation of a successful application and the works being completed, the local authority will conduct a final property visit to review that the work has been completed in-line with grant application. Once the local authority is satisfied, they will then pay the grant. Payment of the grant at the end of the process is to ensure that the applicant has carried out the works applied for, and approved by the local authority.
Access to bridging finance in order to carry out refurbishment works is separate to the grant and is a matter for applicants.
346. Deputy Brian Leddin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if consideration will be given to allocate additional funding to recruit a sufficient number of new inspectors for water pollution as reported (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30988/23]
View answerIreland’s Fifth Nitrates Action Programme, published in March 2022, commits to increasing Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine inspections of farms and to developing an enhanced local authority inspection and enforcement programme.
In order to achieve this the National Agricultural Inspection Programme has been established and funded by my Department. This inspection and enforcement programme, will be managed and coordinated by local authorities with guidance and oversight by the EPA.
My Department has been working with the City and County Managers Association (CCMA) to identify the existing local authority resources available to undertake agricultural inspections and follow-up enforcement. The CCMA has undertaken a review of resources for agricultural inspections and enforcement in each local authority to assess existing resources and skillsets, and to identify additional staffing resources required to deliver the target of over 4,000 inspections per year.
In 2022, prior to completion of the CCMA review my Department allocated funding of €600,000 across 10 local authorities to support the programme.
The CCMA review has identified that 57 additional staff are required. My Department has, as an initial step, allocated funding to 17 local authorities to recruit 21 additional inspection posts under the programme. This funding came from the existing departmental budget for 2023. Sanction for funding of additional posts will be examined with the context of the estimates process leading up to Budget 2024.
347. Deputy Brian Leddin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage his views on the adequacy of timeframes for replacing public sector staff; the associated internal processing delays in financing staffing changes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30989/23]
View answerThe recruitment and filling of posts in the local authority sector is undertaken both by individual local authorities and the Public Appointments Service. Following the approval of a staffing sanction request by my Department, where such is required, it is then a matter for the Chief Executive, who is responsible under Section 159 of the Local Government Act 2001 for the staffing and organisational arrangements necessary for carrying out the functions of the local authority for which he or she is responsible, to progress the appointment as appropriate.
Staff sanction requests are considered in light of Government priorities and other requirements when received in my Department and consideration is also given to the overall staffing levels of the local authority and its ability to meet the ongoing costs involved. In terms specifically of vacancies that arise for existing posts, the majority of local authorities operate under a delegated sanction whereby they can replace vacancies up to Grade VII and equivalent without recourse to my Department for sanction.
348. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the status of his plans to progress the legislative underpinning for a joint urban area plan for Drogheda between Louth and Meath County Councils in order for the urban area of Drogheda to develop in line with National Development Plan 2018-2027 objectives; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32139/23]
View answerOne of the principal aims of the AG-led review of the Planning and Development Act 2000 was to place plan-making at the centre of the planning system by providing for a plan led system of planning and development based on an integrated hierarchy of plan-making consisting of:
• A National Planning Framework
• Three regional assembly Regional Spatial and Economic Strategies
• Thirty-one local authority Development Plans
• Area Plans as mandated or required by local planning authorities
In order to tailor local plans to the specific and differing needs of different localities, Local Area Plans are being replaced by a suite of Plans which will enable focus on the particular needs of local areas as part of the Development Plan and include:
• Urban Area Plans –for towns designated as “regional growth centres” or “key” towns in the RSES;
• Priority Area Plans –for a sub-part of an urban area;
• Joint Area Plans –for whole/part of an urban area that is in the administrative area of more than one local authority, and
• Planning Schemes related to Strategic Development Zones (and Urban Development Zones)
Lower order plans will be required to be aligned to higher order plans, including with Development Plans in order to ensure greater consistency throughout the planning hierarchy. This means that all such plans will be aligned with National Planning Framework objectives.
The National Planning Framework published in 2018 sets out a vision and strategy for the spatial development of Ireland to 2040. The Framework recognises the strategic importance of Drogheda and aims to support its development and its economic potential as part of the Dublin-Belfast Corridor and in particular the core Drogheda-Dundalk-Newry network. Drogheda’s role is reflected at a regional level in the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) for the Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly area. The RSES targets significant growth into the regional growth centres, including Drogheda, to enable them to act as regional drivers. In 2021 both Meath and Louth County Councils adopted new Development Plans which further underline the importance of Drogheda as a key urban centre in both counties.
349. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if the croí cónaithe grant can be applied for in the case of a derelict property that has to be knocked and rebuilt entirely, due to major structural issues, and to bring the building to modern standards; if this is not possible, if it was the intention of this policy to omit such buildings; if so, the reason; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32148/23]
View answerPathway 4 of Housing for All sets out a blueprint to address vacancy and make efficient use of our existing housing stock.
In July 2022 the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant was launched to support bringing vacant and derelict properties back into use.
From 1 May 2023, a grant of up to a maximum of €50,000 is available for the refurbishment of vacant properties for occupation as a principal private residence and for properties which will be made available for rent, including the conversion of a property which has not been used as residential heretofore, subject to appropriate planning permission being in place.

The grant is available in respect of vacant and derelict properties built up to and including 2007, in towns, villages, cities and rural areas.
A maximum of two grants are available to any applicant, of which one must be in respect of a home they intend to occupy as their principal private residence and the other may be in respect of a property which will be made available for rent.
The level of Grant is contingent on the works approved by the local authority and will be paid based on vouched expenditure following a final inspection by the local authority.
The refurbishment of a vacant property for occupation may involve development that requires planning permission. Where appropriate, an applicant under the scheme will be required to submit evidence that planning permission has been attained prior to final grant approval. In cases where a question arises in relation to whether a proposed development needs planning permission or is an exempted development, an applicant under the scheme will be required to submit a declaration of exemption under Section 5 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended.
The objective of the grant scheme is to support the carrying out of refurbishment works to bring existing vacant and derelict properties back into use. While demolition and extension works can form part of an application for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, such works must be part of a wider refurbishment of the existing dwelling in keeping with the objectives of the scheme.
350. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage when funding will be provided for the refurbishment of accommodation and site facilities as the current residents are living in substandard conditions (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32194/23]
View answerThe Housing (Traveller Accommodation) Act 1998 provides that the role of my Department is to ensure that there are adequate structures and supports in place to assist the authorities in providing such accommodation, including a national framework of policy, legislation and funding.
The Act provides that housing authorities have statutory responsibility for the assessment of the accommodation needs of Travellers and the preparation, adoption and implementation of multi-annual Traveller Accommodation Programmes (TAPs) in their areas.
Capital funding of €20 million is available in 2023 for Traveller-specific accommodation capital projects. I am aware that Mayo County Council have been actively considering issues relating to this site. If an application for funding is received from the local authority, it will be considered by my Department.
351. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the steps he is taking to monitor mink hunting with dogs, including the actions to prevent these hunts disrupting other wildlife and hunting otters; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32223/23]
View answer362. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will ban mink hunting, given that the activity poses a threat to the otter species and causes massive disturbance to otter habitats both of which are protected under national and EU legislation. [32394/23]
View answerMink are not protected under the Wildlife Acts, hence landowners and their agents do not need permission or licences from the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) to control their numbers. It should be noted that the methods used must be humane and do not endanger any protected species.
However, where there are suspected breaches of the Wildlife Acts, this is investigated by NPWS staff who have powers of enforcement to deal with wildlife crime. An Garda Síochána are also empowered under the same legislation to investigate alleged wildlife crime offences and to prosecute if appropriate. An Garda Síochána are also authorised under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013.
In every case, consideration must be and is given to a range of issues, including whether it is considered that the evidence of a crime is sufficient, before a decision is taken whether or not to proceed with seeking a prosecution.
In 2009, the NPWS commissioned a very detailed review of control and monitoring techniques used for mink. The report is published in full here: www.npws.ie/sites/default/files/publications/pdf/IWM40.pdf
The review explored the different strategies used in mink control; focusing on eradications, control over large areas, and intensive control at sites specifically for bird conservation. Recommendations for techniques and strategies were made for potential mink control projects in Ireland. NPWS is engaged in some mink control techniques in various locations across Ireland particularly in relation to important ground-nesting bird sites such as corncrakes, curlew and grey partridge. These species are considered to be most vulnerable to mink predation.
The NPWS has recently begun a new national otter survey. This survey will examine the distribution and abundance of the otter nationally and provide an updated assessment of the conservation status of the species. Fieldwork is currently underway and the final report on this survey is due for publication in early 2025. The last national survey (2010-2012) found the otter to be widespread and in favourable conservation status.
There is no provision in the Wildlife Act which would facilitate a ministerial ban on the hunting of mink. Any decision to ban mink hunting would need to be considered jointly by the relevant government departments and agencies and in consultation with stakeholders.
The NPWS is working to review, consolidate and where appropriate amend the Wildlife Acts and the Birds and Habitats Regulations. The updates to this legislation will be wide-ranging but will have a particular focus on deterrence and on improving the enforceability of wildlife laws.
352. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to confirm that there will be no requirement for the provision of a Personal Public Service Number for inclusion on the electoral register; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32270/23]
View answerLocal authorities, in their capacity as registration authorities, are responsible for the management and maintenance of the electoral register. Under the Electoral Act 1992, as amended by the Electoral Reform Act 2022, a registration authority may, for the purposes of their duties in relation to the management and maintenance of the register, require a person to provide any information in their possession including, in respect of their own registration, a PPSN, date of birth and Eircode.
Providing the PPSN allows a basic identity data cross-check with the Department of Social Protection to confirm identity details helping to protect the accuracy and integrity of the register. The use of the PPSN allows electors to submit applications online via the checkteregister.ie website. PPSN’s are not be published on the electoral register and they will never be returned in a search on the checktheregister.ie website.
A person may still apply for entry onto the register without a PPSN by completing the ERF1 form and having it witnessed by a member of An Garda Síochána or an official of the local authority; or where the person cannot attend one of these due to illness or disability, the form must be certified by a registered medical practitioner for example a general practitioner (GP) to confirm their identity.
353. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will provide a schedule of the grants, grant-aid, low-cost borrowing and funding that his Department can provide to an association (details supplied), heading under which the grants, grant-aid, low-cost borrowing and funding is provided; the maximum amount that can be accessed; and the dates on which the schemes operate. [32281/23]
View answerThe information requested is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders
354. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he plans to grant voting rights to members of the Ukrainian community now residing in this country as a result of the invasion of their country by Russia in the forthcoming local elections. [32291/23]
View answerTo vote in an election or referendum in Ireland a person must be both eligible to vote and registered to vote. The eligibility criteria for entry to the register of local government electors is provided under section 10 of the Electoral Act 1992 as amended by the Electoral Reform Act 2022. In this context, section 10 provides that "A person shall be entitled to be registered as a local government elector in a local electoral area if he has reached the age of eighteen years and he is ordinarily resident in that area."
The right to vote in local elections is set out in section 24 of the Local Government Act 2001 (as amended). Section 24(1) of the Act provides that every person whose name is on the register of local government electors prepared under Part II of the Electoral Act, 1992, for a local electoral area is entitled to vote at the poll at a local election in that area.
Ukrainian citizens resident in Ireland who might wish to vote in the next local elections may apply to the local authority in whose functional area they currently reside either by submitting an application online at www.checktheregister.ie or submitting a paper ERF1 form. Further information is available from each local authority or, alternatively, online at www.checktheregister.ie.
355. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if all local authorities have furnished the details on the total number of derelict properties currently on their registers; the number of actions and fines issued under the Derelict Sites Act 1990 for each respective local authority; the changes he will make based on this information; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32295/23]
View answerLocal Authorities are required to submit an annual return to my Department providing information on the operation of the Derelict Sites Act 1990 in their functional areas. The attached table contains the information requested regarding the operation of the derelict sites levy, as per the most recent returns from local authorities relating to the year 2022.
The Derelict Sites Act 1990 imposes a general duty on every owner and occupier of land to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the land does not become, or continue to be, a derelict site. The Act also imposes a duty on local authorities to take all reasonable steps, including the exercise of appropriate statutory powers, to ensure that any land within their functional area does not become, or continue to be, a derelict site.
My Department initiated a review of the Derelict Sites Act in November 2021 and invited local authorities to make initial submissions on potential improvements to the legislative provisions and the way they are applied. A focused working group of nominated staff members from a number of local authorities was subsequently established. The group met on three occasions during 2022 and remains active. It is expected that the report of the group will be finalised in the coming months. I will consider the recommendations contained in the report once it is received.
