Evidence Synthesis Report 14: Impacts and Opportunities of the Clean Industrial Deal in Ireland
Authors: J. Andrew Kelly, J. Peter Clinch and Vishwajeet Pundkar, October 2026
Year: 2026
This research study, led by EnvEcon Decision Support, assesses the impact of the EU CID Clean Industrial Deal (CID) policy framework for Ireland, examining the alignment between EU-level policy objectives and Ireland’s industrial structure, competitive positioning and decarbonisation requirements. The EU’s CID, launched in 2025, aims to integrate decarbonisation with competitiveness, supply chain resilience and strategic autonomy through six pillars: affordable energy, lead markets, financing, circularity, global markets, and skills for a just transition. The research found that the CID comes at a critical time for Ireland. Despite recent progress, industrial emissions are not projected to meet reduction targets by 2030. Within this context, the CID implementation period presents both opportunities and challenges. The study recommends that Ireland’s priority should be to convert EU policy alignment into coordinated delivery for Irish industry.

Ireland's Third National Implementation Plan for Persistent Organic Pollutants
Year: 2026
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are a group of hazardous chemicals that persist in the environment, can bioaccumulate in the food chain, and can be toxic to human health and the environment. Examples of POPs include some older pesticides such as DDT, flame retardants found in older furniture, specific types of industrial chemicals, some of which were used in firefighting foam, and pollutants released from illegal burning of waste. The UN Stockholm Convention on POPs is a global treaty which aims to protect human health and the environment from POPs. Ireland became a Party to this Convention in 2010 and is required to develop a National Implementation Plan (NIP) on POPs and update it as necessary. New POPs have been identified globally in the past few years. In 2026 the EPA updated Ireland’s National Implementation Plan for Persistent Organic Pollutants to include these new chemicals.
