In response to the threat posed to public health by radon gas the Government established a National Radon Control Strategy (NRCS). The Strategy is now in its second phase covering the period 2019 to 2024. Implementation of the Strategy is overseen by an interdepartmental and agency Group chaired by my Department. A key component of the work of the NRCS is to raise awareness of the dangers of radon. As part of this work a revised radon risk map was published on 26th May and is available at www.radon.ie. The new map combines the latest geological data and scientific research. Homeowners can search the map using their Eircode to establish if they are in a high risk location.
