352. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the reason his Department or the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is applying a decision threshold in relation to the control of urban gull species (herring gulls) whereby they must pose a threat to public health and safety in densely populated urban areas in order to be included in the Annual derogation Declarations; if he will set out the specific evidential criteria being applied by his Department or the NPWS when deciding whether or not such a threat exists; and the reason that when such a threat has been recognised by his Department or the NPWS, for example, in Balbriggan, that the only action it has taken is to declare the threat in the annual declarations, when it is in fact a duty of the State to act proactively to protect citizens and public health and safety.
