Bring back the bottle deposit

NORTH Central election candidate Kenneth O’Flynn has raised an interesting vote getting idea, the return of deposits on glass bottles.

The Fianna Fáil councillor says that broken bottles are endangering children and littering the streets and now is the time to bring back deposits to encourage recycling and help clean up Cork

“Broken bottles pose a serious health risk to young children and are an unsightly eyesore,” he said “it is time for drinks manufacturers to accept responsibility for the bottles they use and to re-introduce a deposit system to encourage recycling and responsible behaviour”

“If the drinks companies do not do so I will be writing to the Minister for the Environment, John Gormley TD to ask him to bring in legislation to force them to do so,” he concluded.
