Amharc ar fhreagraThe National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) of my Department has committed, in its Strategic Action Plan 2022-2024, to establish a stakeholder forum and work is ongoing at the moment to deliver on this commitment. It is envisaged that the forum will be chaired by the Director of Engagement and Corporate of the NPWS and that it will meet twice a year. Membership of the forum will be open to national level organisations that are involved in issues that are within the remit of the NPWS.
