Abstract

We are pleased to respond to two waste policy consultations: first, the reopening of that on the proposed Section 60 Policy Direction on a proposed cap to incineration capacity as a proportion of municipal solid waste arisings (“MSW”) and other matters (“the proposed Section 60 policy direction”); and, second, on the new Draft Statement on Waste Policy (“the Draft Waste Statement”). The proposals subject to consultation, together with a number of other recent waste management proposals,3 mark a radical departure in the direction of waste policy in Ireland.
