Government Announces Tougher Litter & Dog Fouling Fines.

Government Announces Tougher Litter and Dog Fouling Fines in New Anti-Dumping Drive.

Fines for littering and dog fouling will increase by €100 from the beginning of September as part of a nationwide crackdown on illegal dumping and environmental offences, Minister of State for the Circular Economy Alan Dillon will announce today.

The increase will see on-the-spot fines rise from €150 to €250, with the Government aiming to strengthen enforcement measures and encourage cleaner communities across the country.

The Government will also invest €3 million in anti-dumping initiatives for local authorities nationwide, supporting more than 200 projects this year. Funding will assist councils with CCTV monitoring, clean-up operations, public awareness campaigns, and enhanced enforcement activity.

The initiative is designed to deter littering and illegal dumping while improving environmental standards in towns, cities, and rural communities.

Since the Anti-Dumping Initiative was established in 2017, funded projects have resulted in the removal of more than 26,000 tonnes of waste nationwide.
