The Green Party has said it will
support new targets set out by the Environmental Protection Agency
in its strategy entitled 2020 Vision: Protecting and Improving
Ireland's Environment which was launched today.
Green Party Environment spokesperson Ciarán Cuffe TD said:
"This strategy is welcome. It sets out a vision for Ireland's
environment as well as the actions the Environmental Protection
Agency must make to achieve this vision.
"The Director of the EPA, Dr Mary Kelly, said that she wants her
agency to be a 'proactive environmental champion', and the Green
Party supports this move. The Green Party in Government would give
priority to these targets to ensure that they are not put on the
long finger." |
