‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Petrol Lead Content. Ending Ireland’s petrol lead derogation
Summary
Keating asked whether the Minister was preparing for the end of the five-year derogation. The Minister said he did not intend to seek a further derogation and was addressing the issue at ministerial meetings.
Is the Minister making provision to ensure that we will not have to continue with this situation when the five-year derogation period ends?
Comment on this
It is not my intention to have a further derogation and I hope that it will not be necessary to have one. There is a provision to look for it but it can only be got by agreement.
