Public consultation on the report is expected to commence next month. This will run for five months to allow stakeholders and members of the public to submit their views.

Public consultation on 'Marine Protected Areas' forecast to begin next month. At present, we have very little protection or legislation for the sea around us – we look forward to the work of Minister @noonan_malcolm and @stevensgreen1 who chairs the Dáil committee. https://t.co/iR8H0nkxxU
