Drones and surveillance technology should be used to tackle the “scourge” of illegal dumping, according to a Fianna Fáil senator. MalcolmByrne on NTBreakfast BKNT

, Senator Byrne said his legislation would only allow councils to use the technology to prevent illegal dumping.“I know from surveying local authorities last year that dealing with littering and cleaning up illegal dumping costs them, in total nationally, between €90m and €100m per year.

“They have fallen foul at times of the data protection commissioner because of GDPR rules but if we have legislation that underpins it, which makes very clear that the only reason the CCTV or drones or automated number plate recognition technology is used is for the purposes of catching illegal dumping, then that can be done.

“People who have no sense of civic pride and responsibility and will engage in dumping and really, the only way to get them is to catch them on camera, to fine them and if they continue to offend, to imprison them.

malcolmbyrne NTBreakfast they might not like what they’ll find out

malcolmbyrne NTBreakfast Can we also use them for tracking politicians breaking covid rules and passing secure documents?

malcolmbyrne NTBreakfast Perhaps, it there wasn't a charge for using the dump, people would actually bring their waste to a landfill.

malcolmbyrne NTBreakfast 1/ Investigators should some gps trackers into open skips or in waste picked up by private companies and see where it ends up. Shouldn't be hard to locate illegal dumps and thence the evidence to prosecute, fine, imprison and/or crush their vehicles into tiny cubes.
