An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-24
============================================================

Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

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.
