In regard to Deputy O'Sullivan's supplementary, would the Minister agree that the provision of more skips in our major ports would constitute a simple advance because, from the information available to me, there are three major ports only in the country that provide such skips? As a simple, interim measure would the Minister not agree that more skips might be provided at our main ports?

I personally would like something more sophisticated than just skips. There are available containers that are enclosed which do not allow garbage and rubbish to be blown all over the place. I agree with the Deputy that the sooner such receptacles are provided the better.
