    Quote from article:

    "Minister for the Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Jimmy Deenihan has warned that Ireland faces large fines if the EU directive on protecting unique habitats is not complied with."

    I don't think that the EU should have that much control over a sovereign country like Ireland. But then maybe Ireland shouldn't have joined the EU in the first place, IMO.
