‘All-Ireland approach on environmental issues required’ – Boylan
Sinn Féin MLA Cathal Boylan has said an all-Ireland approach is needed to address environmental issues.
The Armagh representative was speaking following a meeting of Sinn Fein’s environmental spokespersons across the island.
“As an all-Ireland party, Sinn Fein’s spokespersons on environmental issues met to discuss energy, waste management and other key environmental issues,” Boylan stated.
“It is crucial to take an island-wide approach to dealing with our future energy needs and the challenges to the all-Ireland energy market posed by Brexit.
“We must also harmonise our efforts in dealing with waste management and tackling climate change.

He added, “We also need to ensure our environment is protected and that includes a commitment to block fracking anywhere on the island. None of these issues stop at the border, nor does our approach to them.”
