Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Deputy John Gormley)

The collection of statistics on waste is a matter for the Environmental Protection Agency, and not one in which I have a role. Similarly, enforcement of waste legislation is a matter for the Agency or the relevant local authority, as the case may be.
