I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. I also welcome the Minister to the House. He says that there is nowhere to bring waste. In that case, I wonder why there was such fuss about the incinerator. Surely the incinerator is a place which has been added into the regime where one can bring waste. I am glad the Minister is introducing a pricing watchdog but it is, to a certain extent, a fig leaf. As I said, what about the incinerator? What about packaging? I could see nothing in the Minister's speech about packaging and addressing the question of excessive packaging.
