Commonage Lands

Agriculture Committee to continue discussions on use of Commonage lands

The Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine met with officials from
Teagasc, the Golden Eagle Trust and the NARGC on February 12th to hear from them how they
see the commonage management issue progressing. If you wish to see a transcript of this debate it

The Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine will meet with officials from
the Dept of Agriculture and the NPWS on Feb 19th 2013 to further discussions to further their
debate on commonage management. A transcript of this hearing should be available on www.
yourcommonage before the end of the month. It is hoped that this meeting can give us some insight
into how the Dept. of Agriculture thinking on the matter and on what their favoured approach is
likely to look like.
