The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2014/52/EU (amending Directive 2011/92/EU) was finally transposed by Ireland in September 2018 but what has changed? Is there now more emphasis on screening and scoping rather than actual assessment? What competent specialists are required? Does it encourage more public participation? What do developers, project managers, engineers, planners, environmental consultants now have to be aware of?

In his presentation Brian Tiernan will answer these questions and outline the recent changes and future challenges in EIA from a practitioner’s perspective. He will give a background to EIA and what it entails; provide a practical example from a recent EIA carried out for the process industry and outline what needs to be included for future projects.
