The information sought by the Deputy prior to 2016 is not readily available. However, I have identified in the table below total grant funding paid, including support for waste enforcement activities, from the Environment Fund to the Dublin City Council, Dun Laoghaire / Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin County Councils from 2016 to 2020, inclusive. Section 74(9) of the Waste Management Act, 1996 (as inserted by Section 12 of the Waste Management (Amendment) Act, 2001) specifies the purposes for which payments may be made from the Environment Fund.

2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 Total
Dublin City Council 1.83m 2.30m 1.84m 1.63m 1.10m 8.7m
Dun Laoghaire / Rathdown County Council 0.04m 0.37m 0.40m 0.40m 0.18m 1.39m
