The EU Birds Directive (79/409/EEC) requires designation of SPAs for: listed rare and vulnerable species; regularly occurring migratory species, such as ducks, geese and waders; wetlands, especially those of international importance, which attract large numbers of migratory birds each year. (Internationally important means that 1% of the population of a …
These are prime wildlife conservation areas in the country, considered to be important on a European as well as Irish level. Most Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) are in the countryside, although a few sites reach into town or city landscapes, such as Dublin Bay and Cork Harbour. Detailed conservation …
This is a polygon dataset of the strategic noise mapping of agglomeration airports for Round 4 (2022), representing the situation during 2021, in the form of noise contours for the Lnight period. The dB value represents the annual average Lnight indicator value in decibels over the night time. The values …
This is a polygon dataset of the strategic noise mapping of agglomeration industry for Round 4 (2022), representing the situation during 2021, in the form of noise contours for the Lden (day and evening) period. The dB value represents the annual average Lden indicator value in decibels over 24 hours. …
This is a polygon dataset of the strategic noise mapping of major railways for Round 4 (2022), representing the situation during 2021, in the form of noise contours for the Lden (day, evening, night) period for Cork, Dublin and Limerick noise agglomerations and the major railways outside of the noise …
This is a polygon dataset of the strategic noise mapping of agglomeration railways for Round 4 (2022), representing the situation during 2021, in the form of noise contours for the Lden (day, evening, night) period for Cork, Dublin and Limerick noise agglomerations. The dB value represents the annual average Lden …
This map shows the probability of illegal waste in an area based on seven risk factors. The map is considered under development and is released for review by authorities involved in waste crime so that the methodology used may be improved if necessary. Feedback from enforcement authorities on the map …
This is a polygon dataset of the strategic noise mapping of major roads for Round 4 (2022), representing the situation during 2021, in the form of noise contours for the Lden (day, evening, night) period for Cork, Dublin and Limerick noise agglomerations and the major roads outside of the noise …

This is a polygon dataset of the strategic noise mapping of major airports for Round 4 (2022), representing the situation during 2021, in the form of noise contours for the Lnight period. Major airports were identified under the Regulaitons as those airports exceeding the threshold of 50,000 aircraft movements per …
