I wish to ask the Chief Whip to expedite the progress of the Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill 2022, particularly the provisions regarding illegal dumping. I welcome to the Gallery representatives from Finglas Tidy Towns who are fresh from their victory at the Irish Pride of Place awards, like many communities across the country. This is far from a parochial issue. Dublin City Council spends more than €1 million every year. I look forward to the Government supporting the provisions. They are very welcome. We look forward to them being put into practice.

I thank the Deputy. The Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill has passed Committee Stage in the Dáil and will be going to Fourth Stage on 1 June. It will introduce the power for local authorities to gather evidence of people who are carrying out illegal dumping. It will allow the use of drones, body cams, CCTV and so on to gather that evidence, which up to now has been precluded by GDPR considerations.
