Coastline protection legislation needs prompt attention

Communications Officer at Fair Seas, Jack O’Donovan Trá has urged the public to use their voice to ensure the government “commits to having healthy seas for future generations”.

Legislation to protect Irish seas and coastlines must be in place before the Dáil’s summer recess, according to environmental campaigners.

Fair Seas, an umbrella organisation for a range of environmental groups, is calling on the government to introduce robust legislation on Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) before the Dáil pauses for the summer.
