Killarney

<h3>The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has acquired lands near Derrycunnihy Church in Killarney National Park.</h3>
The acquisition consists of over 70 hectares at Derrycunnihy, a site completely surrounded by Killarney National Park lands.
It is a hugely important addition to the Park as it is an area of high conservation and ecological value, and all of the lands are part of a European site of nature conservation, MacGillycuddy Reeks and&nbsp;Killarney National Park SAC.
The habitat there consists of dry heath, oak woodlands, pockets of blanket bog and an oligotrophic lake, a true reflection of what lands in a National Park should be.
These lands are close to Derrycunnihy&nbsp;Church, an important architectural feature within Killarney National Park.
This iconic structure, one of the most beautifully situated, scenic churches in Ireland, has recently undergone conservation works and is home to a number of protected species including the lesser horseshoe bat.
