This dataset identifies Water Framework Directive (WFD) river water bodies that intersect with Special Protection Areas (SPAs) designated under the EU Birds Directive, specifically in relation to their Conservation Objective Habitats as defined under the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992). It forms part of Ireland's Register of Protected Areas, linking river water body boundaries to protected habitat sites. The data supports environmental assessment, conservation planning, and regulatory reporting by showing where river systems overlap with legally protected conservation areas across the country. It is published as part of Ireland's national open data portal.WFD River Water Bodies intersecting with Designated Special Protection Areas Conservation Objective Habitats under the EU Habitats Directive (together with the Birds Directive) - Council Directive 92/43/EE of 21st May 1992.
