The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH) are the leading government authority in Ireland for the Nature Restoration Law (NRL). My Department has worked closely with DHLGH to ensure that the text of the NRL will deliver for the environment and climate whilst supporting all sectors of society, including farmers and rural communities.
My Department supports the ambitions of the NRL and staff within my Department will be working closely with colleagues in DHLGH to ensure that national restoration plans will identify appropriate sources of financing for the delivery of NRL ambitions.
