Waste management planning, including infrastructure provision such as civic amenity sites, is the responsibility of local authorities under the Waste Management Act 1996. Under section 60(3) of that Act, I, as Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, am precluded from exercising any power or control in relation to the performance, in specific cases, by a local authority of their statutory functions under the Act. I refer the Deputy to the Local Government Management Agency for the information sought.
