Vol. 254 No. 3

Questions—Ceisteanna. Oral Answers. - Disposal of Bottles.

84.

asked the Minister for Local Government if, in view of the refuse disposal problem created by non-returnable bottles, he has any proposals under consideration for control of their distribution.

I have no proposals under consideration on the lines mentioned by the Deputy.

Would the Minister not consider mounting a campaign urging manufacturers to put this liquid in plastic bottles or alternatively urging people who go out to the country on picnics during the summer not to throw these bottles away? It is a very serious problem, especially in mountain areas.

Yes, I shall consider it.
