Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 March 2005
409 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the number of criminal prosecutions taken by the Environmental Protection Agency and local authorities under the provisions of the Waste Management Act 1996, as amended, in respect of each of the past four years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6583/05]
View answerInformation on prosecutions taken by the Environmental Protection Agency is available on its website at www.epa.ie.
My Department has no data on summary convictions taken by local authorities under the Waste Management Act 1996 for the years in question. However, data are being sought for 2004 and when this is collated it will be sent to the Deputy. Data on prosecutions taken on indictment are a matter for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
