Funding is directed through the Irish Environmental Network (IEN) to member organisations to support their core activities, build capacity to participate in policy development/implementation and social partnership, and to carry out project research and advocacy.

Funding is also provided directly to some organisations to support the development of educational materials/exhibitions and to implement initiatives to raise awareness of the need to protect and enhance the environment. Support is also provided to environmental and other organisations to facilitate sustainable development through the Local Agenda 21environmental partnership fund.

Following public tendering processes a number of environmental bodies have secured contracts with the National Parks and Wildlife Service to undertake species research projects. In view of the time necessary to collate the data, information in this regard will be forwarded to the Deputy once it has been compiled.
