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 …
The designation of Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) safeguards vulnerable or unique marine species and habitats of national importance in the Northern Ireland inshore region based on an ecosystem approach. These MCZs fulfill the obligations on The Marine Act (Northern Ireland) 2013 (the "Act") to contribute to an ecologically coherent UK …
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 …

Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are designated under the European Commission Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds. All European Community member States are required to identify internationally important areas for breeding, over-wintering and migrating birds and designate them as Special Protection Areas (SPAs).
Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) are those which have been given greater protection under the European legislation of The Habitat's Directive. They have been designated because of a possible threat to the special habitats or species which they contain and to provide increased protection to a variety of animals, plants …
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 …
