123. Deputy Francis Noel Duffy asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the current annual budget allocation to the stop food waste section of the EPA; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14853/24]

The EPA sets out its own Work Programme and associates budgets against each activity and my Department has no function with regard to those determinations.

I suggest the Deputy should contact the EPA directly in respect of their 2024 budget for Stop Food Waste.
