Vol. 531 No. 1

Written Answers. - Litter Pollution.

John Gormley

Question:

114 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will supply a breakdown of litter fines for the year 2000; the number which were for presentation of refuse; the number which were for personal littering and other categories; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5121/01]

The specific information requested is not available in my Department. However, information on individual local authority enforcement action, covering numbers of litter wardens employed, prosecutions taken, convictions secured and on-the-spot fines issued and paid, is available and is in the Oireachtas Library. The most recent data is in respect of the six month period ended 30 June 2000.
