Available Data and Data Limitations
All of the available performance and financial data of this scheme, was provided for the completion of this report.
This is managed through the national steering group for the programme which was established in 2019. The steering group, which is chaired by DECC, meets quarterly and allows for both the allocation and re-allocation of funding in response to project progress and allows for standardised data collection on project progress for every site in receipt of funding, annually.
Site data includes the following variables
Site ID, remediation status, risk rating (if available), site type, region, local authority/payee, project name, amount in euro (nominal terms), purpose of payment, source of funds (Vote or EF), year incurred, invoice date, subhead, and additional notes
Further details of the 494 sites in the landfill remediation programme to include their location, what are the outstanding issues, and what actions are being taken to minimise costs being borne by the State
The Regional Waste Management Plans are being updated and consolidated with a view to publishing a single National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy in Q1 2023. This will set out the renewed roadmap for delivery of the national policy for the landfill remediation grant programme for the next 7 years.
Attached at Appendix I is a spreadsheet which provides the current position on the status of all 494 sites.
The term ‘commenced’, as referenced in Appendix I, has been used to broadly include sites where local authorities have sought funding under the grant programme e.g., some level of works has commenced; ‘authorised’ means sites now regulated under the Waste Management Act (as amended), 1996; and ‘resolved’ means sites addressed by local authorities without drawdown of grant funding and no further works are envisioned.

Notes
“Closed landfill register (formerly Section 22 register) now revised with ICT support in place to utilise the database to track progress” – what does this mean exactly and where is the data published ?
“Sites of Concern Programme” DECC anti dumping project ? no details online aside from this report to PAC
2019 Anti-Dumping Initiative: https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/e27ac-anti-dumping-initiative/
Kildare County Council Silliot Hill, Private/illegal dump (remediated historic landfill, Euro 6.42m costs)
Kildare Kerdiffstown, Illegal dump (not on closed landfill register, €14m costs – Kerdiffstown was a licensed site which invoked waste enforcement intervention due to operating outside of its licensing conditions)
Coolock/Darndale landfill remediation programme. Large scale illegal dumping site on a green space between the R139 road and a
residential area in Moatview, Darndale. Managed via National Waste Enforcement Steering Committee (NWESC). Enforcement actions at the site have included the prosecution of individuals under the Waste Management Act and the revocation of the waste collection permit of a local resident. Specialist Environmental Consultants have been engaged by DCC to undertake Environmental Assessments to gauge both the scale and type of waste involved and to advise on the subsequent means and level of clean up required.
