Waste dumping prosecutions
Deputy Murphy seeks legislative changes to help councils prosecute fly-tippers despite GDPR limits on CCTV use. The Tánaiste says he lacks details but will raise the issue with the Minister and seek a direct reply.
The county of Wexford is no exception when it comes to fly-tipping and illegal dumping. It is destroying our beautiful Model County’s landscape from Gorey to Enniscorthy, and New Ross to Wexford. Our county council does what it can but is being hamstrung by GDPR legislation preventing it from using CCTV footage in many instances where it wishes to bring a prosecution for enforcement. What legislative proposals are being brought by Government to assist county councils to bring forward prosecutions under the Waste Management Acts to cure this anomaly to ensure that this disgusting practice stops?
