Guidance Document

This guidance is an output of the EPA-funded project ’Second Review of the Effectiveness of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in Ireland’ (Research Report No. 306). It builds on the learnings from the international review and consultation carried out as part of that review and seeks to address the shortcomings identified in Irish SEA practice with regards to SEA Statements and monitoring. More detail on the Second SEA Effectiveness Review, including the methodological framework applied, findings and recommendations, can be found in Research 306. This stand-alone guidance provides recommendations on SEA Statements and monitoring, which are specific to the Irish context but have wider applicability.
