116 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance if he has considered the possibility of introducing a selective tax on non-recycled glass and paper so as to encourage recycling.
The scope for the introduction of new taxes on products has been severely curtailed by EC Single Market requirements. Given these requirements and other practical considerations, I have no plans for a selective tax on non-recycled glass and paper.
