Corporate Governance
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-14
============================================================

Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

I thank the Deputy. I take her point that she did not find sufficient information on Re-Turn's website. As I said, I speak to it regularly and indeed receive information from it daily. I will ask it to update its website and add more information, certainly to the level that is on any other. I did not check.
The members of the board, for confirmation, are Tony Keohane, who is independent; Tara Buckley, who represents RGDATA, which is a collection of small retailers; Thomas Bourke from Coca-Cola; Conor Hyland from Heineken; Kevin Donnelly from Britvic Ireland; Rosemary Garth from Tesco; Joseph Owens from the Claddagh Group, which is a west of Ireland bottling company; Shane Kelly from Lidl; Noreen O'Kelly, independent; and David Kelly, independent.
The company is structured as a not-for-profit. It cannot legally distribute profits to its members or distribute dividends. It has also been legally constituted to be a membership organisation that is a producer responsibility organisation. It is built on the same framework or template as an organisation like Repak.
