367. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will ensure that the forthcoming citizens' assembly on biodiversity includes marine biodiversity. [8036/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government recently agreed on the convening of a Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity, scheduled to commence in April 2022. Terms of reference to provide a clear focus for the Assembly will be established, but it is my expectation that there will be a focus on how the State can improve its response to biodiversity loss, including in the area of marine biodiversity.
