The amendments made in the Dáil serve only to enhance the Bill. When the legislation was first before the Seanad I gave it a warm welcome. As the Minister pointed out, it represents part of an overall strategy to improve our environment. Senator Bannon spoke of driving across the country to see streets which are littered with rubbish, but there have been vast improvements in the past three or four years. No one can argue with that. The plastic bag levy has worked and the revenues being generated are being invested directly in waste management. Only this week, the world's foremost waste water management facility opened in Ringsend. Such are the changes taking place. I commend the Minister on the introduction of the Bill. As part of our overall strategy, it will strengthen the effects of the changes being made to our environment.
