Protection of the Environment Bill 2003 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] : Report and Final Stages.
Part 3 of the Bill relates to the enforcement provisions of the Waste Management Acts. These are being strengthened through a number of important amendments made in the Dáil. The fines for offences under the Acts have been increased significantly by virtue of amendment No. 27. As in the IPPC code, the courts will have regard to remediation when deciding on the penalties.
