Statistics on local authority enforcement action, including the number of litter fines issued, are submitted by local authorities to my Department every six months; these figures are also available in the Oireachtas Library. The number of litter fines issued for the first six months of 2005 — the most recent information available — is 13,787. There were 22,397 litter fines issued in the 12 months ending 31 December 2004.
