Vol. 499 No. 2
57 Mrs. B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the steps, if any, he will take to ensure the viability of recycling operations in Ireland; the assistance he proposes to give to paper recyclers in 1999; the specific plans, if any, he has to achieve Ireland's recycling targets; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2067/99]
It is my intention to prepare a policy statement on recycling and waste recovery generally for publication later this year. This policy document will address in detail the factors and practical considerations which are relevant to the achievement of Government policy objectives in this area and outline the scope of measures which will be undertaken in support of better recycling performance.
In the interim, I have no proposals for the provision of special assistance to paper recycling activities.
