New Paper on PublicPolicy.ie
“Linking the Irish Environment: Exploring the role of civil society in promoting cross-border environmental cooperation” by @Ciara_Brennan1 @EJNI_Online @FBrereton @enviro_hannah @UCDEnvPolicy @VGravey @HAPPatQUB @mdobbs26 @MaynoothUni @LisaClaireWhit1 @QUBelfast & @AlisonNiEochaid (TUS)

Climate collective @RightsClimate has won permission to appeal against a judgment that ruled in favour of a government policy restricting the green ambitions of local planning authorities.

I was delighted to present at the @law_IALT conference on Saturday with @CRGMurray and @tobiaslock on a panel focused on incorporation of international human rights into domestic law in the ROI and NI, and EU accession to the ECHR. My paper looked at ICESCR incorporation.

The President has signed the Planning & Development Bill 2023. Very interesting statement setting out his reasoning on the matter of a potential Art 26 reference. #Aarhus #ATJ
