Almost €40,000 Granted To Tackle Dumping In Clare

Almost 40,000 euro has been earmarked for six projects aimed at tackling the scourge of illegal dumping in Clare.

Clare TD Joe Carey has confirmed that as part of a two million euro Government investment, 39,455 euro has been allocated towards projects including the clean-up of a multi-dumping site in South East Clare and the Rocky Road in Ennis.

Covert surveillance and smart technology, including aerial imagery from drones and satellites, as well as the installation of CCTV cameras will form a central part of the Government’s crackdown on the problem.

Spokesperson for Irish Business Against Litter, Conor Horgan says smart technology could be the answer to a long-running issue.
