I move amendment No. 21:

In page 10, after line 37, to insert the following: “(8) The Minister will present the circular economy strategy to the Government for approval, and following approval, shall carry out the following in relation to the circular economy strategy:

(a) prepare a review on an annual basis, to evaluate outcomes against stated deliverables of the circular economy strategy, including any relevant data on progress, barriers to progress and recommendations on adjustment of the circular economy strategy or other measures, including financial measures, to address any such barriers or shortfalls as may be identified by the review;

(b) ensure that annual reviews referred to in paragraph (a), are made available to the public by publication on a website maintained by or on behalf of the Minister or the Government.”.

I will also wait to see what the Minister of State says. I ask that there would be specifics written into it, if possible. I am not sure what Deputy Bruton had in mind for the model the Minister of State said he will use. It is important to namecheck the specific requirements as part of that monitoring.
