 Rare event for a public body in Ireland The EPA website today invites you to give them your opinion on how well they do their job. This is newsworthy as it is a rare event for a State agency to put itself into the spotlight in this way. However the call for opinions needs a little more publicity than simply appearing on the EPA website. Indymedia's newswire allows readers to learn about stuff like this from a central point - that is what makes Indymedia so valuable. The Environmental Protection Agency hit the headlines recently for claiming that it was not, after all, an emergency response agency. This followed criticism of the slow response of the Agency to a series of polluting incidents around the country. The EPA did a little navel gazing and decided that its job really was to advise management on how to adopt good work practices. Dealing with the messy or even dangerous aftermath of careless or deliberate toxic leaks was, the EPA said, the job of other people - like the Guards, or maybe the Fire Brigade, or the County Council (well maybe not the County Council if it was outside office hours). Now the EPA is asking you to tell it what you think of its service. It is running a customer survey on its website and whether you want to be or not, you are one of its customers. |
