Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

My focus has been on actions like the strengthening of the enforcement provisions and penalties, which I provided for in the Protection of the Environment Act 2003 and the provision of €7 million to support local authorities in delivering on the first year of a major five-year waste enforcement programme, with a commitment of further funding in later years. I am resolutely determined to ensure that no effort is spared in the implementation of the law on waste. I will also liaise with the OEE on an ongoing basis and I will consider additional enforcement measures which its experience suggests might be required.

By raising the issue of the electoral process in this motion it is clear that the Green Party cares little about the need to encourage public support of the electoral process.
