The Litter Pollution Act, 1997, provides for penalties for litter offences.  These range from an on-the-spot fine of €150 to a maximum fine of €3,000 on summary conviction, and a maximum fine of €130,000 on conviction on indictment. The fines for continuing offences are €600 per day for summary offences and €10,000 per day for indictable offences.

There are no provisions within the Act that provide for publishing the names of those charged and convicted of committing littering offences.
