Environment
The Irish Wildlife Trust (IWT) has welcomed the recommendation from the Citizens’ Assembly on Biodiversity Loss, that the constitution should be amended to better protect biodiversity and nature.
The IWT has called for a new, strong law which will put biodiversity protection and restoration on a par with addressing climate change.
Rural Life
Rural communities lack confidence in the Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity and believe it will undercut rural activities, a TD has claimed.
Ireland's Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity Loss cannot be turned into another "stitch-up of rural Ireland", Deputy Fitzmaurice said.
Climate Case Ireland has delivered a letter to the government calling for it to announce a date for a citizens' assembly on biodiversity.
