Enforcement of environmental legislation is a matter for local authorities and the Office of Environmental Enforcement. I understand that the office, through the enforcement network it has established, arranged a meeting of regional coordinators on 17 January 2006 to finalise the overall content of the work plans for enforcement activities for 2006, which include initiatives planned to deal with fly-tipping in each of the regions, including the Dublin region. The implementation of these measures or other local initiatives to address issues of litter or waste are essentially a matter for the local authority concerned. There are no proposals to fund a pilot project along the lines suggested by the Deputy. My Department understands that previous such schemes resulted in inappropriate use of the skips provided, including for disposal of commercial waste.
