Vol. 278 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Solid Wastes Disposal.

77.

asked the Minister for Local Government if the Government will accept Part 1 of the report published in November, 1974, by the working party on the disposal of solid wastes of the planning division of An Foras Forbartha, with particular reference to the desirability of legislation offering financial incentives for the recovery of used products or for the repayment of taxes levied on products which are surrendered for recycling.

The report is in the nature of a first assessment of certain solid waste problems and possibilities. I regard it as a valuable initiative which raises a number of issues and possibilities deserving of more detailed evaluation. The report is being considered in my Department in consultation with An Foras Forbartha with particular reference to the most useful lines for further study by the group.
