Report of Tourism Policy Review Group: Statements.

 

My final point relates to litter. Many visitors have expressed surprise at the level of litter throughout the country. It is sad that the litter problem remains prevalent in many areas. I was particularly annoyed and surprised by the statement of the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government during the summer to the effect that he was pleased the litter problem in Ireland was largely a thing of the past. Does the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism agree, in light of the contents of the report and what everyone can see with their own eyes, that this problem is not a thing of the past and that the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government should invest more money in order to employ additional litter wardens and promote litter prevention?
