An Taisce is not the only trust recognised by IUCN.
An Taisce is just one of more than 700 environmental and conservation NGOs which are members of IUCN including the National Trusts of most of the Commonwealth countries.
When An Taisce was founded everyone expected that it would perform the same role in the Republic that the National Trust does in the UK. Have a look at the pathetic property portfolio on the AT website. The jewel in the crown, Kanturk Castle, was actually a hand me down from the UK Trust.
You are obviously not impressed by “what is currently being discussed†but at least somebody is trying to address this gross dereliction of a national duty.
