I thank the Deputy. The Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill has passed Committee Stage in the Dáil and is going to Fourth Stage on 1 June. It will introduce the power for local authorities to gather evidence of people who are carrying out illegal dumping. It will allow the use of drones, body-cams, CCTV and so on to gather that evidence, which up to now has been precluded by GDPR considerations.
