Question:

Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

My Department is continuing its examination of the various options as to how best the rapidly evolving waste market might be regulated in future. In this context, the views of the Competition Authority will be given careful consideration. I would hope to be in a position to advance proposals in this regard early in 2006.
