Lynn Boylan (SF), Agricultural Panel

I move amendment No. 63:
In page 25, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following:
"Supermarket Refill Station Report
16. (1) The Minister shall, within 12 months of the passing of this Act, prepare and publish a report examining how retailers can reduce plastic packaging in Ireland by encouraging customers to use re-usable containers through requiring a minimum amount of floor space be dedicated to refill stations dedicated to the provision of re-usable products including staples like rice, pasta, cereals, beans, and detergent.
(2) This report shall examine the size of the supermarket retailer that should be obligated (e.g. greater than 400 metres squared).".
