Enforcement by local authorities is key to preventing environmental pollution – here's how this can improve in Ireland 🌲💧 The EPA has published a report on the environmental enforcement performance of local authorities (County and City Councils) in 2023. The report asks the question: How are we doing at a local level when it comes to enforcing our environmental laws in the areas of water, waste, air and noise? Here are some key takeaways: 🗑️Enforcement of waste activities delivered improvements and positive environmental outcomes, such as the detection and cessation of illegal waste activities. ❌Local authorities did not prioritise enforcement in the areas of water, air and noise in 2023, with poor inspection rates and follow up actions. 🐄Farm inspection rates are far below the level required to drive compliance and improve water quality. 🔥Local authorities need to ensure that only approved solid fuels (for example low-smoke coal and dry wood) are available for sale, to protect public health from harmful air pollutants.

🚨 Important Update on Environmental Protection 🚨 I have raised my concerns with the Union Environment Ministry regarding the 2024 amendments to the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. These changes not only dilute crucial ecological safeguards but also infringe upon state rights. If you're concerned about the impact on our environment, I urge you to take action!

I have co-written an article for the Habitats Regulations Assessment Journal with Caroline Chapman. It relates to the use of JNCC Decision-Making Thresholds for Air Pollution, the failure of Natural England to reach a decision on their use, and the recent endorsement of the JNCC thresholds by the Office for Environmental Protection. The complete article is available on Caroline’s post here (https://lnkd.in/e_gzQU7a). I am hopeful that the OEP endorsement might move us toward more consistent advice to competent authorities in the rest of the UK.
