New measures to tackle illegal dumping announced

 

One million euro of funds from the Anti Dumping Initiative is to be ring-fenced to tackle a reported increase in illegal dumping during the Covid-19 crisis.
Environment Minister Richard Bruton says the money will go towards a number of measures including waste removal and the installation of CCTV cameras.
A rise in fly-tipping has been reported in a number of counties including Dublin, Cork and Louth.
