Mr. Matthew Collins:

In progressing the concept of a DRS, we said we would implement a pilot to have a much better understanding of how such a scheme would operate in Ireland. As a result of discussions with the environmental pillar, it has been agreed not to proceed with the pilot. That is in accordance with the views of the NGO pillar, as I said. As a result, we will not be doing that. Instead, it has been agreed that we will carry out a national study on a full implementation of how a DRS would operate in Ireland. Those are the actions we are taking. At this stage, when we have examples of these schemes enjoying high and low performance in different countries and also examples of countries, including Ireland, that have good performance or high performance - as is the case with Belgium, which does not have a DRS - it is not really feasible for me to say what is the best or the only option with which we should proceed at this point.
