An "independent" EPA?

2004, Green Press Release:
The Greens have stated the EPA is 'utterly compromised' [Boyle]. EPA's 'independent' Board contains a former industry employee (Burke of Indaver). An ex-EPA Director has worked to promote the Poolbeg Incinerator and the failed West Dublin Incinerator.

2007-2009: In office Mr Gormley has not corrected EPA's 'totally compromised' corporate governance.

Green Party Press Release, Issued: 18 July 2004

Green Party TD Dan Boyle said today, The appointment of Ms. Burke, having worked with Indaver Ireland, the company proposing the development of a domestic waste incinerator at Carranstown, County Meath and a toxic waste incineration at Ringaskiddy, Cork, utterly compromises the position of the EPA as a body seen by the public as being independent and impartial.
