Abstract

The effect of these Regulations is to remove the Bullfinch from the Third Schedule to the Wildlife Act, 1976, thereby making it a protected species throughout the State. It will be an offence to hunt, take or kill the species or wilfully to take, injure, mutilate or destroy its nests or eggs. The Act enables fruit growers to take appropriate protective action where their crops are being damaged by the species.
