Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-30
============================================================

Lynn Boylan (SF), Agricultural Panel

I move amendment No. 24:
In page 16, line 4, to delete “Agency” and substitute “Minister”.
The amendment seeks to assign responsibility for the circular economy programme to the Minister as opposed to the EPA. This is an issue that arose during the pre-legislative scrutiny stage and may have been one of the recommendations. We feel that it is appropriate while understanding the responsibilities and competencies of the agency that the Minister is defined in legislation, and is ultimately the accountable person.
