There are two things in the regulations I issued, one of which is a statutory instrument that determines the rules under which the scheme has to operate. That includes a rule that the machines should be accessible. The Re-turn Ireland organisation itself also has rules for its retailers. It made up its own list of rules for how retailers have to operate, which is not statutory or is not a piece of legislation.
