Abstract
This book examines the evolution of Irish environmental policy over the so-called Celtic Tiger years of Irelands economic boom while looking to the future as well. It considers why Irelands environmental performance has been so lacklustre during this period, and what scope exists for improvement. The emphasis is placed primarily on institutional aspects of Irish environmental policy. In particular, this book offers a strong critique of the current Irish style of reaching environmental decisions, an excessive dependence on legal instruments, and a weak Irish local government system.
