About irish environment

irish environment is an online magazine dedicated to covering environmental matters on the island of Ireland, in both the Republic of Ireland (RoI) and Northern Ireland (NI).  As NI is part of the United Kingdom and the RoI is part of the European Union, and much environmental law and regulation originates in the EU and UK, we will cover developments there. We will also explore environmental issues in the United States and elsewhere, including in developing countries, as we are all share one environment and global climate change is affected by what happens everywhere.

Founded in September 2009, we relaunched our site in May 2012 to bring you a new and improved irish environment with updated design, search functions and content, including our new section,  ieBLOG.

Follow us on Twitter.

We update our News section once a week, typically each Monday, and other sections – Reports, Commentary, Podcasts, iePEDIA, You Tube, events— are updated at the first of each month.

The ieBLOG is available at any time for readers to offer comments, raise questions or issues, or to respond to material on the magazine or to other readers’ comments. Readers are asked to refrain from blogging with offensive or libelous statements, and the publisher reserves the right to delete any such offensive or libelous material.

The Reports, Commentary, and iePEDIA sections include links to other material on irishenviroment or other websites that are related to the subject of the Report, Commentary or iePEDIA entry.

 

Submissions

Readers are welcome to submit proposals for Reports, Commentary and iePEDIA. Please e-mail the publisher at robertemmethernan@gmail.com and include a one-page description of your idea and some information about yourself.
