736. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if, given the CJEU's 1987 judgement in Case No 247 - the EU Commission vs Belgium, he accepts that noise and faecal pollution, serious attacks on people, including on children in their schools, from high density gull colonies, in Irish towns and cities, are negative impacts far more serious than the impacts of small species such as sparrows and starlings cited in the CJEU's judgement as justifying derogations, and therefore that proactive general derogations are required in impacted areas listed in his Department's National urban Gull Survey 2021 - viz. Balbriggan, Howth, Skerries, Drogheda, Bray and many parts of Dublin city and suburbs, "in the higher ranking interests of public health and security", in line with the CJEU Judgement. [27879/23]
