Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

Yes. A CCTV system has been put into operation. My policy is clear, in that illegal dumping should be dealt with by the relevant regulatory authorities in as strong a manner as possible. Activity that damages our environment physically or visually is not acceptable. I understand the frustration of Deputy Ellis and the area's law-abiding residents concerning this illegal activity and will ask the Department to contact Fingal County Council to see what can be done to improve the situation and to deal with the issue once and for all.
