I acknowledge the tremendous strides which have been made. Tidy Towns competitions and school schemes have been mentioned. The environment has never been in better condition and much of that is due to schools and the volunteers involved in Tidy Towns who have taken a great interest in waste minimisation. Many of the bring banks which have been so successful over the last year are being monitored by schools and local voluntary bodies. That is to be welcomed. I agree with previous speakers that by working together, we will implement the waste management plan. There is goodwill towards this and I encourage the Minister of State and the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to go full steam ahead in implementing this plan.
