View answerManagement and enforcement responses to litter problems, including graffiti, are a primary responsibility of each local authority to be met from their existing resources. However, to assist local authorities in this matter, my Department has allocated €1 million in 2010 under the anti-litter & graffiti awareness grant scheme to raise awareness of the damage caused by both litter and graffiti.
