EPA Local Authority Environmental Enforcement Performance Report 2024
Update: 2025-10-24
Description
Local authorities have improved their environmental performance by 20% over the past three years, with close to four-fifths of the National Enforcement Priority meeting the required standard in 2024.
That is according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has published its Local Authority Environmental Enforcement Performance Report 2024.
The disappointing news from a Clare perspective, however, is that Clare County Council was ranked among the worst performing local authorities in the country when it comes to enforcing environmental protection legislation.
The EPA’s report shows this county's local authority met the required standard in respect of just 11 of the 19 National Enforcement Priorities last year.
To look at this more closely, Alan spoke to Sinead Sheehan, Scariff-based Futureproof Clare spokesperson and Eddie Punch, Former ICMSA General Secretary and Cratloe Farmer on Friday's Morning Focus.
