Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick City, Labour)

The concept of a deposit and refund system can certainly be included In the review. Everybody would agree it is dreadful that people have to ensure the grounds used for sporting or community events, or for children's play, are clear of broken glass bottles and other litter. We want to do all we can in this regard and if a deposit and refund scheme can be shown to be effective in reducing the amount of material thrown away rather than recycled, it would make a positive impact. If the Deputy wishes to submit his views in more detail I am sure they will be considered in the review.
