The Irish Environmental Network (IEN) is a network of environmental Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) that was established in 2002.[1] The network is designed to give greater reach and access to funding for disparate and sometimes small member organisations. The IEN also has the Environmental Pillar which acts as a lobbying group with many of the same NGOs in order to present their concerns to government and policy matters at all levels, national, regional and local. The IEN has also coordinated a photography awards scheme,[2] and manages the Green News website which covers a range of environmental news stories in Ireland and abroad.[3]
