Dublin North Central Sinn Féin -- Building an Ireland of Equals

Sinn Féin Policy on the Environment

Sinn Féin is committed to creating environmental standards on a co-ordinated island-wide basis.

We are committed to the principle of sustainable development. We believe that all economic activity and policy decisions should be environmentally proofed to ensure no needless damage is inflicted to an island environment already under severe pressure from unnecessary pollution and inefficient waste management strategies. Sinn Féin will work for:-

Devolution of powers over the quality of life to local authorities, including the financial means to fulfil responsibilities;

Involvement of all interested groups in the planning and implementation of policy;

Local authorities to co-operate with others on an all-Ireland basis to develop environmental policies.
