Bono, Edge and Letterman mooch about a Dublin so old and gloomy even the crow’s feet have crow’s feet€1 billion has now been secured by the EPA in the form of financial provisions to protect the taxpayer in the event of an environmental accident or incident at a licensed site.
“The thirteen sites on the national priority sites list in 2022 were the subject of targeted enforcement action. While this represents only 1.5 per cent of the total sites licensed by the EPA, it is disappointing that the food and drink sector continues to make up a significant proportion of these,” he said.
The EPA’s aim was to ensure all sites, across all sectors, “resolve their environmental issues, return to compliance and operate without giving cause for complaints from their neighbours”. The EPA’s annual report also highlighted that the amount of financial provisions secured by the EPA exceeded one billion euros for the first time in 2022.
