The information requested is set out in the following table.
My Department is conscious of the escalating costs to local authorities of operating the substantially increased network of recycling facilities. This is reflected in increased funding of €8m from the Environment Fund in 2006 in respect of such operational costs. The costs incurred by local authorities are regularly reviewed to ensure that the available funding is distributed in an equitable manner.
