Brian Stanley (Laois-Offaly, Sinn Fein)

Yes. It is not necessary to label or seal these bags because customers in the fuel depot can recognise whether the contents are firewood or ordinary peat or, as it is called down the country, turf. However, we support the labelling and sealing of bags of smokeless and other fuels such as ordinary and anthracite coal that might look like smokeless fuel. Will the Minister accept my amendment on this basis?
