Protection of the Environment Bill 2003 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] : Report and Final Stages.

 

The EU directive on end-of-life vehicles is a major addition, one which is welcomed by all. The Minister and I were very anxious to take this opportunity, if the House will forgive the pun, to use the Bill as a vehicle to transpose the EU directive into Irish law. Senator Brennan is right in saying we have problems throughout the country in relation to this. This will ensure there will be a structure in place. We will sit down with the stakeholders and vested interests with a view to working out what is best for Ireland before the Minister signs any regulations.
