The recently published review of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended that legislation governing the EPA, including the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) and waste licensing regulations, be consolidated. Each of the recommendations of the report of the EPA Review Group, which is available on my Department's website, www.environ.ie, will be considered by my Department in the coming months.
