Labour launches £2bn recycling strategy
The Labour Party has launched proposals for a national waste management strategy.
The Opposition party is prepared to spend £2bn to get the Irish public to recycle almost everything.
The Waste Matters policy document, published by Labour Environment Spokesman Eamon Gilmore, calls for the establishment of a National Waste Management Agency to plan and oversee recycling and destruction of waste.
Party leader Ruairi Quinn said at a lunchtime launch, that the Irish public was currently in the middle of a waste management crisis, which he described as "an example of the Government's blinkered thinking".
