NI's Low Prosecutions for Illegal Dumping
Description
Northern Irelands environment agency struggles with low conviction rates for illegal dumping, with only 29 successful prosecutions in the past five years. The issue is widespread, with one of Europes largest illegal dumpsites discovered last year. The low conviction rate means dumpers face minimal risk, causing harm to the land, wildlife, and biodiversity. Agency officials emphasize their commitment to tackling waste crimes but urge the public to report offenders to increase prosecutions.
