‹ Questions on Promised Legislation Aarhus Convention transposition
Summary
Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy asks what progress has been made on transposing the Aarhus Convention into law. The Taoiseach says he does not have the answer immediately but will come back to her.
It is 21 years since the Aarhus Convention was adopted, 16 years since it came into force and five years since we ratified it. What progress has been made in transposing it into legislation to give full effect to the convention in order to give access to information, public participation and decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters to our citizens?
