Local TD says Citizens Assembly on Biodiveristy cannot become "stitch-up" of rural Ireland

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Local TD Michael Fitzmaurice says the Citizen's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss cannot be turned into another "stitch-up" of rural Ireland.

The body was set up to examine how the State can improve its response to the issue of biodiversity loss, and to bring forward proposals.

Deputy Fitzmaurice says he's not impressed with its first meeting - and its claims that Ireland is not the land of a thousand welcomes when it comes to nature.

He argues it would do the body and our urban experts a great deal of good to realise rural dwellers are the conservators and curators of the land.
