Minister for the Environment Denis Naughten will on Monday announce a plan to use drones in a new crackdown on illegal dumping in rural and disadvantaged areas.
Fly-tipping and illegal dumping is getting significantly worse in many parts of the country, spurred by resistance to pay-by-weight rules favoured by waste companies.
Illegal dumping is now a major issue, and this year the Department of the Environment is expected to spend close to β¬10 million on enforcement action.
Community groups and State agencies will now get β¬650,000 to combat the issue, some of which will be used to pay for drones which will be able to catch aerial images of dumpers.
