Enforcement of environmental legislation is a matter for local authorities and the Office of Environmental Enforcement. I understand the office, through the enforcement network it has established, arranged a meeting of regional co-ordinators on 17 January 2006 to finalise the overall content of the work plans for enforcement activities for 2006, which include initiatives planned to deal with this sector on both a regional and national basis. The implementation of these measures is a matter for the enforcement authorities concerned.
