Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
1:30 pm
Mr. Matthew Collins:
More work needs to be done to decide on the best option. We are not in a position to say what the best option is at this stage. This issue requires more analysis. I do not think the Minister has said he has no objections; he has signalled that he is concerned about the cost of the deposit-return scheme, DRS, proposed in the Bill. We want to establish how we can achieve high-level targets in a cost-effective manner.
