I move amendment No. 60: In page 24, between lines 24 and 25, to insert the following: “(c) climate justice;”.

Amendment No. 60 seeks to insert "climate justice" as one of the issues to which the Minister may have regard when preparing the national food waste prevention strategy. This is particularly important in the context of famine in the Horn of Africa and the incredibly devastating impacts of climate change we have seen in respect of global drought and hunger. I will not move amendment No. 61 because it contains an error, but it also seeks to address the targets and indicators for zero hunger. In the Horn of Africa, la…

Because Senator Boylan will not be able to respond, I indicate that the Senator is glad the Minister of State will provide a report on that matter. I would add we certainly cannot afford to wait unduly to see how things work out. We need to be trying everything we can. In terms of amendment No. 63, that is welcome. On amendment No. 66, I would add, because I do not think we will get to discuss it, that when we talk about ethical supply chain, one of the core issues is in relation to mining. I regret that this Bill …

That is useful to know. So it is adjourning at 7 p.m.

In that case, I will come back later on those supply chain issues in terms of the issue of precious minerals, which are a fundamental concern.

I move amendment No. 65: In page 25, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following: “Report on circular economy in respect of clothing 16. The Minister shall, within 18 months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas outlining measures which have been taken to reduce waste arising from the disposal of clothing and to ensure the protection of indigenous clothing industries in countries to which such clothing is exported to as waste or in the form of donations.” .

I move amendment No. 66: In page 25, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following: “Report on supply chain due diligence 16. The Minister shall, within 12 months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas outlining the mechanisms employed to ensure that both the circular economy strategy and the circular economy programme protect human rights and the environment along the supply chain of goods and services entering the State and the mechanisms employed to ensure compliance with …

I second the amendment.

As seconder of the amendments, I will not reiterate all of the points that have been made. This discussion began when we were debating the Data Protection Act 2018 in the previous Seanad and that discussion has followed through to this debate. This is an issue of very serious concern to all of us in our group and we have engaged very actively on it, including in respect of the debates on the transposition of the audiovisual media services directive, the digital services directive and the AI directive. All of these …
