Kieran Flood

Kieran Flood is the chief executive of the Irish Wildlife Trust (IWT), an organization dedicated to the conservation of Ireland's natural environment. He has been a vocal advocate for wildlife protection, often expressing concerns regarding government policies that may adversely affect the ecosystem. Recently, he criticized former Minister Heather Humphreys for her unsympathetic stance towards environmental groups during the discussion of the 2016 Heritage Bill, which extended the hedge-cutting season, arguing that it negatively impacted ground-nesting birds and the broader Irish environment.
