Mr. Kevin O'Donoghue:

We want to harmonise what is happening at civic amenity sites around the country and to make a distinction between civic amenity sites and bring centres. We funded that report from the regional authorities in regard to CA sites with the specific intention of harmonising them. The opening hours and materials accepted at CA sites should be harmonised across the State. This will allow us to build on the social enterprise side as well and get to a point where we can use CA sites for re-use activities and to get people through them and begin to learn at a local level what the circular economy can be. We would like to see the CA sites have a much higher profile in local communities and, so that people would not to be disadvantaged on the basis of where they live, each CA site would have the same facilities available.
