Committee on Public Petitions
Consideration of Public Petition on a Ban on Herbicides in Public Areas: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. James Callery:
With regard to by-laws, more effective than by-laws is actually changing practice at community level. In the national Tidy Towns competition, we had one town that was very disappointed that an adjudicator commented on the use of herbicides in the town and said that would cost them marks. That is going to be a more effective tool, where we can use the carrot rather than enforcement.
