The preparation of a General Scheme of a Bill to provide for the prohibition of the sale, manufacture, import or export of certain products containing plastic microbeads is at an advanced stage. It is intended to bring this to Government at the earliest opportunity, with a view to drafting progressing as a priority, so that the Bill can be published in the 2018 autumn/winter legislative session.
