My Department is responsible for setting the policy and legislative framework within which local authorities discharge their functions under the Litter Pollution and Waste Management Acts.

Questions in relation to the number of litter fines imposed, revenues raised through the imposition of litter fines for specific offences and prosecutions taken by individual local authorities should be directed towards those specific authorities.

Enforcement actions against illegal waste and littering activity, including dog littering,  are a matter for local authorities.

Questions in relation to the number of litter fines imposed, and revenues raised through the imposition of litter fines for littering offences in individual authorities can be directed towards those specific authorities.
