Regierung kündigt Gründung eines neuen Nationalparks in Kerry an

70,000 acres, 1,400 of which is on land, the rest marine.

Interesting bit on the price the state paid for the land:

>This land was put on the market last August and has been acquired by the State for a price understood to be in the region of €6m.

The American had been [reportedly looking for 10 million](https://old.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/191gqh3/state_nears_deal_for_conor_pass_in_co_kerry/) at the time.

Also there had been reports of an [adjacent parcel going for sale](https://www.farmersjournal.ie/news/news/over-1-200ac-in-dingle-for-sale-803852), that was also possibly ending up in state hands, this doesn’t seem to have happened from this report.

That’s two new national parks in two years, Greens doing some good work
