General Scheme of the Prohibition of Certain Products Containing Plastic Microbeads Bill 2018: Discussion
Ms Siobhán Dean:
In the Irish context we are not engaged in researching the health impact. Many of the companies involved in the cosmetics and detergents industries are international. The companies involved in the manufacture of cosmetics and detergents here are SMEs and would not have the scope to engage in such research, but that is not to say that in the future there will not be some opportunities to do so.
