Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 July 2021
78. Deputy Neale Richmond asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the amount of funding that was allocated to each local authority to deal with illegal dumping, graffiti and vandalism in each of the years 2015 to 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40214/21]
View answerThe grant schemes of direct relevance are the Anti-Dumping Initiative (ADI) and the Anti Litter-Anti Graffiti Scheme (ALAGS).
The annual ADI, was introduced in 2017 to encourage a collaborative approach between local authorities, communities and other State Agencies to tackling the problem of illegal dumping. Details of funding for the years 2017 - 2020 are available at the link below. A further €3m has been allocated to the Anti-Dumping Initiative in 2021.

The anti-litter grants provided to city and county councils are utilised to fund a range of measures aimed at raising public awareness of the litter issue and promoting anti-litter and anti-graffiti activity at a local level. Allocations for the years 2017 - 2020 are set out in the table below. A further €745,000 has been allocated in 2021.
My Department is also providing an additional €5m this year to support additional litter infrastructure by local authorities in the context of the Government's emphasis on an outdoor summer.
