Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

2:30 pm

Mary Henry (Independent)

I move amendment No. 12:

In page 18, line 49, to delete "plan" and substitute "or hazardous waste plan".

I tabled this amendment because while I realise the definition of a waste management plan includes a hazardous waste management plan, it might be wiser to separate them in the context of the Bill. As far as I am aware, a hazardous waste management plan is monitored all over the Republic by the EPA, while waste management plans come under the county councils. This amendment seeks to put greater emphasis on the hazardous waste management plan.
