169. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government where the functions relating to waste management, regulation of waste collection companies and regulation of recycling facilities will be located after the division of the existing Department of Environment, Community and Local Government into two new Departments. [18001/16]
View answerResponsibility for environmental functions in relation to waste and resource efficiency, including waste management, regulation of waste collection companies and regulation of recycling facilities, will transfer to the Department of Communications, Energy & Natural Resources. That Department will be renamed as the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment following completion of all relevant transfer of functions processes. The statutory process to give effect to these changes in respect of the environment portfolio is underway and will be completed as soon as possible.
