Committee on Public Petitions
Consideration of Public Petition on a Ban on Herbicides in Public Areas: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Mary Cahill:
There are a few groups. We have the core group which consists of Mr. Callery, as the environmental awareness officer, and me, the heritage officer, and then administration support. At the moment we do not have a biodiversity officer or an energy staff member at the moment. Then we have green team, which involves a representative from each section within the council. They do this in addition to their day job. We feed small actions into that team that they roll out within their section. The SPC is separate again. It was formed in June 2019 as the first climate action SPC in the country. Again, we work closely with it.
