Environmental Protection Agency: Financial Statements 2017

Ms Laura Burke:
All of our prosecutions go up on the website. The cases are all accessible and everybody can see them. The European Commission published an environmental implementation review a week or two ago that looks at overall compliance with environmental legislation across the EU for each member state. One of the things it identified in Ireland is the fact that information on prosecutions is up on the EPA website but maybe not all prosecutions are as easily available, for example, on wildlife crime and so on. This is of interest, not only to the committee but also to others.
