The Minister will be aware that more than 1 million tonnes of food waste are disposed of each year in Ireland. In recognition of the 2015 agreement on the United Nations sustainable development goals and the EU circular economy package, the previous Minister indicated that he wished to promote food waste prevention at a national level. I would like the Minister to outline the steps that can be taken to minimise food waste, particularly in our supermarkets.
