Environment Ireland, now in its fourth year, is Ireland’s largest conference on environmental policy and management. The conference is organised in association with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government. The conference is attended each year by 300+ delegates representing all the major sectors with an interest in Ireland’s environment, including many from Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Environment Ireland 2008 will be held for the first time in Croke Park conference centre in North Dublin, ensuring it’s still convenient for those wishing to organise meetings in the city centre over the course of the conference.
Environment Ireland 2008 will once again feature an opening address from the Environment Minister, John Gormley, as well as an update from EPA Director-General Dr Mary Kelly on how her organisation continues to protect and improve Ireland’s environment. With over 35 expert speakers, both from Ireland and further afield, addressing the conference over two days, Environment Ireland has become firmly established as the largest and most-important conference for all those with an interest in Ireland’s environment.
