I intend to allocate some €5 million from the environment fund this year towards the operating costs to local authorities of bring centres and civic amenity sites. I also intend in the coming weeks to make a further round of grant allocations towards the capital costs of recycling and recovery facilities. My decision on the scale of the latter allocations will depend on a number of factors, including the nature of proposals received, the lead-in time for project development, the need to realise our NDP-ERDF commitments, and the other competing priorities drawing on the environment fund.
