Motion

Establishing an Independent Environmental Protection Agency

Establishing an Independent Environmental Protection Agency
That this Assembly notes the findings of the Independent Review of Environmental Governance in Northern Ireland, which identified that environmental pressures, including the crisis in Lough Neagh, reflect serious weaknesses in governance and accountability; agrees with the Review’s findings that the absence of a new model of environmental governance is undermining public trust, compliance and the delivery of environmental outcomes; and calls on the Executive to bring forward and pass legislation to establish an Environmental Protection Agency, properly resourced and operationally independent, before the end of this mandate.
