Question:

33 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the enforcement initiatives he has planned involving targeted efforts to deal with the dumping of construction waste which was cited by the Office of Environmental Enforcement’s report, The Nature and Extent of Unauthorised Waste Activity in Ireland. [36660/05]

Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

Enforcement of environmental legislation is a matter for local authorities and the Office of Environmental Enforcement. I understand the office, through the national enforcement network it has established, is currently formulating enforcement plans against illegal waste activity for 2006 and that the actions planned will include targeting the dumping of construction waste.
