ENVIRONMENT TRUST FUND
ABOUT THE ETF
The Environment Trust Fund (ETF) was established in 1994 (The Environment Trust Fund Order, S.I 39 of 1994), under the Public Finances (Control and Management) Act. The Order was revised in April 2017 and again in 2020. The Ministry of Environment, Climate, Energy and Natural Resources (MECENR), through an Executive Committee, is responsible for the administration of the Fund.
