Article 12 2019 Reporting Breeding Distributions and Ranges
The Birds Directive (Directive 2009/147/EC) came into force in Ireland in 1981. Article 12 of this directive requires Member States to report on the implementation of national provisions taken under this Directive including specific reporting on status and trends of bird species.
Since 2013 these reports are prepared every 6 years.
