My Department has no statutory control in the sphere of environmental pollution. However, it would naturally be concerned about the effects of air and water pollution from the standpoint of forestry development and wildlife conservation. In this context liaison is maintained with the Department of Local Government —where the main responsibility for pollution control at central level rests —and with An Foras Forbartha.
