Phoebe has been with the organisation since 2017. An Taisce, Ireland’s oldest environmental charity, is a prescribed body for multiple development consent and policy making processes in Ireland, and Phoebe’s role is centred around fulfilling this prescribed function in relation to planning. Specifically, with a background in environmental policy, her focus is evaluating the potential environmental impacts of development and ensuring environmental legal compliance. Phoebe also works on a broad range of planning and environmental policy issues including planning legislation, climate mitigation policy, and Aarhus Convention compliance. Throughout her work Phoebe advocates for the full implementation, enforcement and improvement of national and European environmental law and policy, particularly as it applies to planning. She also is a strong advocate for public participation and access to justice in the planning process as well as in all environmental decision-making and policy-making processes. Phoebe is a member of the Government’s Planning Advisory Forum, and she holds an MSc in Environmental Policy from UCD.
