lpv:spoken text	"I can understand that you do not want to comment until you have investigated the complaints but I would urge you to put pressure on the Irish government. For decades they have ignored their obligations under EU directives. As regards the special protection areas they have completely ignored their obligations. In this case they have basically done what they want. They change the boundaries whenever they feel like it. The public consultation, in my mind and in the mind of many of the local people in the Community, is completely and totally inadequate. This is just one more example of the way that the Irish government is behaving in relation to its obligations under EU directives. I would like to ask you, Commissioner, are you going to push much further with the Irish government and explore every possible avenue. I welcome the recent decision on fining Greece and I would like to see the same thing happen with the Irish government if they fail to comply with directives. It seems the only thing they are willing to listen to is the threat of fines. Unfortunately the taxpayer will have to pay the fines but real pressure has to be put on the government at this stage because they have got away with it for far too long."@en1
