View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 382 to 384, inclusive, together.
Income from the Environment Fund is used to support a range of environmental measures including within the area of waste management and the enforcement of waste management legislation. The 2011 and 2012 Environment Fund Accounts will be published in due course once they have been audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General. However, provisional figures (on an accruals basis) indicate that income of €62,147,730 was received in 2011 from the environmental levies on the landfilling of waste and the provision of plastic bags. Cash receipts of €28,039,386 have been received for the period from 1 January 2012 to 31 May 2012. The breakdown of Environment Fund expenditure (on an accruals basis) on the waste management capital grant scheme in 2010 is set out in the table that follows this reply. The funding was provided to support the development of local authority recycling facilities.
