I am not accepting amendment No. 36 from Deputy Devlin. It was grouped with amendment No. 6 on the basis that it is a broader issue than just plastic. We are trying to avoid single-use items, no matter what material they are made from. I am not tying it down to a particular material type or limiting the restriction or the attempt to persuade people away from single-use, disposable items to items that contain plastic alone.
