Mr. Brian Quirke:

In terms of the strategic approach, the first national level policy strategy was the national food waste prevention roadmap published in November 2022 for a three-year period from 2023 to 2025. It sets out 38 priority actions of focus to steer efforts towards the goal of UN sustainable development goal 12.3. The next iteration of the roadmap, following the publication of the next circular economy strategy, will be a statutory one following the Circular Economy and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2022.
