Answer
The Department is aware of one air quality monitoring station which has been relocated within the last five years. A monitoring station within the Derry City & Strabane District Council area was moved in March 2016 from Brooke Park to Rosemount. Relocation was required as a result of a wider development scheme for the Victorian Park at Brooke Park by the Council. The new location at Rosemount is approximately 260 meters north of the original location of the monitor.
