In February, the Government produced a set of commitments to support the implementation of the National Biodiversity Action Plan 2017-21. A global assessment report was published this week showing that the health of the ecosystem, on which we and all other species depend, is deteriorating rapidly. Can the Minister provide an update on the necessary urgent implementation of the national biodiversity action plan? What additional resources are there and what investment is being made to stem this biodiversity emergency in Ireland?
