• Laura Burke, Director General,
• Gerard O’Leary, Deputy Director General
• Dr Tom Ryan, Director, Office of Environmental Enforcement

Chairman of the PAC, Seán Fleming TD, said, “The 2017 financial statements show that the EPA had income of €71.2m and 70% of this was in the form of State grants. The C&AG issued a clear audit opinion on the 2017 financial statements. The EPA has an extremely large remit, from radiological protection to licensing to environmental protection. Issues that may be raised by PAC Members tomorrow include waste management, water quality and landfill.”

The meeting will start at 9am in Committee Room 3
