So we need to continue to make progress.
And that's why I'm introducing these practical measures here today.
It is.
And in fact, many responsible dog owners are often the most frustrated here because they clean up after their own dogs and others, you know, give everyone a bad name.
So this is about the minority who walk away and leave the mess for everyone else.
And if you look at public spaces...
They belong to everyone.
You know, councils provide bins, bag dispensers, but no council can bend down and clean up every dog.
So the responsibility rests with the owner.
So if you own a dog, it's your responsibility.
And cleaning up is not optional.
And that's why we want local authorities now to be given the funding and the tools necessary
to deploy even greater availability of these key infrastructure within greenways, parks, local beaches.
And I absolutely accept the point.
The reality is, David, that the litter wardens and the day-to-day enforcement are employed by the local authorities.
Government doesn't directly deploy wardens, but what government does is provide the legal powers, the funding and the supports.
And this year alone, there was over 7.7 million euros deployed.
available nationally for waste enforcement activities, supporting our local authorities around the country with enforcement staff and resources.
And alongside that, we've also provided up to €3 million this year for anti-dumping initiatives, and that's for the deployment of drones and CCTV,
and the technology that will allow councils to target known problem areas more effectively so that we do have greater prosecutions and those who are responsible are brought to justice.
