The Southern Region extends from Counties Kerry and Clare on the west coast to County Wexford on the east coast, and includes the Counties of Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford, Carlow and Kilkenny and includes Cork City.
The council will take responsibility of co-ordinating and overseeing the enforcement of waste regulation on behalf of all ten local authorities in the region.

"In selecting Cork County Council to be the Lead Authority for enforcing waste regulation in the Southern Region, the Department of the Environment and other statutory bodies such as the EPA recognise the expertise and commitment that has been developed in our waste enforcement team over the last number of years," said Chief Executive Tim Lucey.
"I have no doubt the enforcement team will work effectively with other local authorities and statutory bodies to meet the challenges of the waste industry and deal with them in a pro active manner."
