A man has pleaded guilty to damaging protected wildlife habitats in Kilcock.
Declan Hallinan, of Carrownedin House, Enniscrone in Sligo, admitted to three offences under the Wildlife Acts during a recent hearing at Naas District Court.
The case, brought by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), revealed that Hallinan unlawfully destroyed 300 metres of hedgerow and vegetation in Pitchfordstown, Kilcock, during the closed season.
The court was told that these actions violated Section 40 of the Wildlife Acts, which safeguards habitats vital for wildlife.
A number of remedial steps had to be taken, including the planting of 500 native trees and installing protective fencing.
Hallinan was ordered to donate €25,000 to local charities, and a local national school for conservation education.
