The fine for littering is increasing from €150 to €250.
Littering penalty increases are set to be enforced from today.
Minister of State for the Circular Economy Alan Dillon today announced the introduction of higher litter fines, with the fixed-payment, on-the-spot fine for littering increasing from €150 to €250.
The measure aims to discourage littering and promote cleaner, more sustainable communities, with up to €250,000 to be allocated from the Circular Economy Fund in 2026 to help local authorities purchase infrastructure to address dog fouling.
Environmental Awareness Officer with Offaly County Council, Caroline Clancy says she welcomes the move, but feels the figure could be bigger:
