The powers of authorised persons to stop, inspect and detain vehicles under the Waste Management Acts are also being strengthened by virtue of amendment No. 29. In addition, in support of more effective involvement of the Garda Síochána in certain enforcement cases, amendment No. 26 enables the Garda Commissioner to appoint members of the Garda Síochána to be "authorised persons", ensuring that the powers under the Acts can be made available speedily to individual gardaí, where necessary.
