Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

Hopefully the exchanges we have had today will go some way to help redress the lack of public information on this issue. Deputy Gilmore's suggestion may not be very practical but I will consider anything the Deputies propose because this is a serious issue and will continue to be so. Questions arise about how to implement the directive and determine whether the vendor has responsibilities or the purchaser has sole responsibility, which does not seem fair but it is too early to answer them.
