of grey geese (anser) outside the permitted seasons; whether the Nature Conservancy Council was consulted in each case before the issuing of such licences; and if it is a condition of the licence that non-lethal scaring methods must be employed just before killing of geese is permitted.

Mr. John MacKay

A total of 49 licences have been issued to permit the control of grey geese (anser) outside the permitted seasons. The Nature Conservancy Council was consulted in each case before the issuing of such licences. It is not a condition of the licence that non-lethal scaring methods must be used just before the killing of geese is permitted, but a recommendation to use such scaring methods is contained in the advice sent to each licensee.
