The General Scheme of the Circular Economy Bill 2021 was published on 15 June 2021. It is my intention under the Bill to facilitate not only the use of CCTV, but also the use of a broad range of Audio-Visual Recording (AVR) equipment in order to assist local authorities in their efforts to combat litter and illegal dumping. The pre-legislative scrutiny process has been completed with the publication of the final report of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment and Climate Action on 16th December 2021. Drafting is well advanced and the Bill will be published in Q1 2022 and enacted as soon as possible thereafter.
