The three priority recommendations of the International Advisory Committee, which will be fundamental to the success of the Nature Restoration Plan, are to:

- Fund nature restoration—with dedicated, long-term financial commitments.
- Prioritise action on public lands—leading from the front by managing public lands in the public interest.
- Support farmers, fishers, and foresters—empowering our custodians on land and at sea.

Nature restoration is a common cause uniting all of Irish society. Environmental Pillar welcomes IAC recommendations and urges Government to fund the plan https://www.environmentalpillar.ie/nature-restoration-is-a-common-cause-uniting-all-of-irish-society/
