The city has upped the number of city officers who can dish out fines for daily littering infractions or “incivilities”. The new "anti-incivility brigade" is hitting the streets on Monday, and within three months will see their staff numbers hit the target of 1,900. The brigade has replaced the Prevention and Protection Direction (DPP) which was previously in charge, and which provided the majority of officers. The move comes after the city started giving out fines of €68 for tossing cigarette butts in October last year.
