Answer
Departmental officials have been undertaking a review of the Northern Ireland Priority Species List, and a number of taxonomic groups have been prepared for peer review. My officials will then publish the revisions to the Northern Ireland Priority Species List on the DAERA website. This will be an ongoing process, but it is intended to have the first group revisions published within the current financial year.
