GAZETTE NOVEMBER 1996
FOOTNOTES
1 See Scannell, Environmental and planning
law in Ireland, (1995), 484-6.
2 Waste Management Act, 1996
(Commencement) Order, 1996 (SI 192).
The provisions which have not been
commenced relate to the revocation of
statutory instruments implementing EC
waste law, to the transfer of waste in
accordance with the duty of a holder
of waste and to civil enforcement
and remedies.
3 See, for example, the powers of the Minister
concerning prevention, recycling and
packaging waste.
4 Other aspects are considered in more detail
in Meehan, The Waste Management Act,
1996: The Last Green Bottle', (1996) Irish
planning and environmental law journal 59.
5 There are exceptions. Recovery of sewage
sludges and agricultural wastes is subject to
the less stringent requirements of section
51; local authorities do not require permits
for waste collection.
6 Certain minor offences specified in
section 10(2) may only be prosecuted
summarily.
7 This revocation has not yet come into
operation; see the 1996 Commencement
Order. This will only become possible once
the appropriate regulations are made by
the Minister.

planning and IPC - after Masonite', (1996)

Representations were made to the
Minister for Education regarding what
we perceived as the unfair stipulation
that an apprentice should not have
completed a post-graduate course in
order to qualify for a local authority
grant to attend the Law Society's
professional and advanced courses.
The Minister has gone some way in
addressing our concerns by ruling that
attendance at an ESF funded course
will not debar an apprentice from
qualifying for a further grant. This of
course means that attendance at a
course for which no such funding is
available remains a bar to qualifying
for a grant. A meeting has now been
sought with the Minister to discuss this
matter, and the grant system generally,
which now takes on an added
importance in the light of the extended
duration proposed for future
professional courses.
The 'SADSI Apprentice Welfare Pack'
has been completed and distributed
among students currently attending the
42nd and 43rd professional courses.
The welfare pack contains useful
information in relation to tax, grants,
PRSI entitlements, the Ulster Bank
Apprentice Loan Scheme and student
cards. Copies of the welfare pack can
be obtained by contacting our welfare
officer, Fintan Lawlor, at Sean
Gallagher & Co, Solicitors.
