Written Answers. - Habitat Programmes.

Trevor Sargent

Question:

258 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will report on the progress being made by his Department in initiating and assessing Habitat 2 programmes arising from commitments made by the Government at a conference in Istanbul. [3145/02]

A national report for Ireland on the Habitat 2 agenda was prepared as part of Ireland's participation in a special session of the UN General Assembly on the habitat agenda held in New York in June 2001. This report was drafted in line with UN reporting guidelines and reviewed the considerable progress made in Ireland since the habitat conference in Istanbul in 1996 in relation to shelter, social inclusion, environmental management, economic development, governance and international co-operation.

A copy of the report is available in the Oireachtas Library.
