International Importance:
• ‘European Site’ including Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Site of Community Importance (SCI),
Special Protection Area (SPA) or proposed Special Area of Conservation.
• Proposed Special Protection Area (pSPA).
• Site that fulfils the criteria for designation as a ‘European Site’ (see Annex III of the Habitats Directive, as
amended).
24
• Features essential to maintaining the coherence of the Natura 2000 Network.
• Site containing ‘best examples’ of the habitat types listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive.
25
• Resident or regularly occurring populations (assessed to be important at the national level) of the
following:
o Species of bird, listed in Annex I and/or referred to in Article 4(2) of the Birds Directive; and / or
o Species of animal and plants listed in Annex II and/or IV of the Habitats Directive.
• Ramsar Site (Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially Waterfowl Habitat 1971).
• World Heritage Site (Convention for the Protection of World Cultural & Natural Heritage, 1972).
• Biosphere Reserve (UNESCO Man & The Biosphere Programme).
• Site hosting significant species populations under the Bonn Convention (Convention on the
Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals, 1979).
• Site hosting significant populations under the Berne Convention (Convention on the Conservation of
European Wildlife and Natural Habitats, 1979).
• Biogenetic Reserve under the Council of Europe.
• European Diploma Site under the Council of Europe.
• Salmonid water designated pursuant to the European Communities (Quality of Salmonid Waters)
26
Regulations, 1988, (S.I. No. 293 of 1988).
National Importance:
• Site designated or proposed as a Natural Heritage Area (NHA).
• Statutory Nature Reserve.
• Refuge for Fauna and Flora protected under the Wildlife Acts.
• National Park.
• Undesignated site fulfilling the criteria for designation as a Natural Heritage Area (NHA); Statutory
Nature Reserve; Refuge for Fauna and Flora protected under the Wildlife Act; and/or a National Park.
27
• Resident or regularly occurring populations (assessed to be important at the national level) of the
following:
o Species protected under the Wildlife Acts; and/or
o Species listed on the relevant Red Data list.
28
• Site containing ‘viable areas’ of the habitat types listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive.
24
See Articles 3 and 10 of the Habitats Directive.
It is suggested that, in general, 1% of the national population of such species qualifies as an internationally
important population. However, a smaller population may qualify as internationally important where the
population forms a critical part of a wider population or the species is at a critical phase of its life cycle.
26
Note that such waters are designated based on these waters’ capabilities of supporting salmon (Salmo salar),
trout (Salmo trutta), char (Salvelinus) and whitefish (Coregonus).
27
It is suggested that, in general, 1% of the national population of such species qualifies as a nationally important
population. However, a smaller population may qualify as nationally important where the population forms a
critical part of a wider population or the species is at a critical phase of its life cycle.
28
A ‘viable area’ is defined as an area of a habitat that, given the particular characteristics of that habitat, was of
a sufficient size and shape, such that its integrity (in terms of species composition, and ecological processes and
function) would be maintained in the face of stochastic change (for example, as a result of climatic variation).

County Importance:
29
• Area of Special Amenity.
• Area subject to a Tree Preservation Order.
• Area of High Amenity, or equivalent, designated under the County Development Plan.
30
• Resident or regularly occurring populations (assessed to be important at the County level) of the
following:
o Species of bird, listed in Annex I and/or referred to in Article 4(2) of the Birds Directive;
o Species of animal and plants listed in Annex II and/or IV of the Habitats Directive;
o Species protected under the Wildlife Acts; and/or
o Species listed on the relevant Red Data list.
• Site containing area or areas of the habitat types listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive that do not
fulfil the criteria for valuation as of International or National importance.
• County important populations of species, or viable areas of semi-natural habitats or natural heritage
features identified in the National or Local Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) if this has been prepared.
• Sites containing semi-natural habitat types with high biodiversity in a county context and a high degree
of naturalness, or populations of species that are uncommon within the county.
• Sites containing habitats and species that are rare or are undergoing a decline in quality or extent at a
national level.
Local Importance (higher value):
• Locally important populations of priority species or habitats or natural heritage features identified in the
Local BAP, if this has been prepared;
31
• Resident or regularly occurring populations (assessed to be important at the Local level) of the
following:
o Species of bird, listed in Annex I and/or referred to in Article 4(2) of the Birds Directive;
o Species of animal and plants listed in Annex II and/or IV of the Habitats Directive;
o Species protected under the Wildlife Acts; and/or
o Species listed on the relevant Red Data list.
• Sites containing semi-natural habitat types with high biodiversity in a local context and a high degree of
naturalness, or populations of species that are uncommon in the locality;
• Sites or features containing common or lower value habitats, including naturalised species that are
nevertheless essential in maintaining links and ecological corridors between features of higher
ecological value.
Local Importance (lower value):
• Sites containing small areas of semi-natural habitat that are of some local importance for wildlife;
• Sites or features containing non-native species that are of some importance in maintaining habitat links.
29
It should be noted that whilst areas such as Areas of Special Amenity, areas subject to a Tree Preservation
Order and Areas of High Amenity are often designated on the basis of their ecological value, they may also be
designated for other reasons, such as their amenity or recreational value. Therefore, it should not be
automatically assumed that such sites are of County importance from an ecological perspective.
30
It is suggested that, in general, 1% of the County population of such species qualifies as a County important
population. However, a smaller population may qualify as County importance where the population forms a
critical part of a wider population or the species is at a critical phase of its life cycle.
31
It is suggested that, in general, 1%of the local population of such species qualifies as a locally important
population. However, a smaller population may qualify as locally important where the population forms a critical
part of a wider population or the species is at a critical phase of its life cycle.

Introduction
This document presents a proposed approach to mitigating the impacts of a proposed
pharmaceutical development and manufacturing facility at Monksland, Co. Roscommon
on the local population of Common Frog Rana temporaria. The approach requires the
removal of potential breeding habitat (drainage ditches to be in-filled) and the collection of
frogs, their eggs and tadpoles and therefore requires permission from the National Parks
and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local
Government. .
Under the Wildlife Act 1976 and the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2000, Common Frogs and
their breeding places are protected from wilful damage or interference. Vegetation
clearance works as part of the construction stage are proposed to commence in February
2014 and therefore, it is necessary that any mitigation works are carried out to avoid
direct impacts during this time.

Overview of Mitigation Strategy
The development requires the removal of wet grassland and drainage ditch habitats
where Frogs are likely to breed, given that several frogs were recorded in these habitats
in July and August 2013. It is proposed to carry out site clearance commencing February
2014.

Drainage ditches in the southern portion of the development will be retained. These
drainage ditches will receive treated run-off from the proposed development, but will not
be directly impacted. It is proposed that frog spawn and/or tadpoles be translocated to
this area (encircled in yellow and indicated by an arrow the Map overleaf). A dip nest,
scooping device, and several buckets will be used for the translocation works.
