Environment not priority

Bad and all as it was not to appoint a (dedicated) minister for the environment at the outset of the minority government it now flies in the face of all the national, and International environmental legislation that not even a junior ministry of the environment is appointed this time round despite an increase of junior ministries.

In the previous government Arts and Heritage Minister Heather Humphries sabotaged the Wildlife Act to facilitate hedgerow modification of the rural countryside.

Already criticism has been leveled at Enda Kenny (him, part of political class) that they have no understanding of the arts but perhaps what is even worse is that the political class have no value or understanding of the terrestrial and aquatic ecology, both sub-parts of the general environment.
