33 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the timetable for the implementation of the national hazardous waste management strategy published by the Environmental Protection Agency; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31121/01]
I refer to the reply to Questions Nos. 83 and 131 of 6 November 2001. It is intended that invitations to participate on the proposed implementation committee will issue to relevant interests within the next week or so. Otherwise, the position is unchanged.
