Vol. 415 No. 8

Written Answers. - Recycling of Paper Products.

John Bruton

Question:

308 Mr. J. Bruton and Mr. J. Mitchell asked the Minister for the Environment if he will give details for Ireland in regard to disposal of wastepaper, wastepaper recovery rate, wastepaper utilisation rate, and wastepaper in paper products in the form of the tables given in the article on wastepaper recycling in the OECD Observer of February/March 1992; and if he will outline the reason the figures for Ireland were not included in the tables in question in view of the fact that Ireland is a member of the OECD along with the countries whose information was included.

The information requested is not available in my Department. I understand that statistical material of the kind included in the article referred to is normally obtained directly from trade organisations in the paper industry.
