By insisting on a Re-Turn logo on every container, and not allowing it to be OPTIONAL - HUNDREDS of products (competitors of Guinness, Heineken, Coca-Cola) will disappear from the market. #NOReTurnLOGO (13/42)

Re-turn Ossian Smyth GreenParty If you are interested in the thread I posted over the weekend, it is here - x.com/BeerMessiah/st… #NOReTurnLOGO (42/42)

I am trying to get Re-Turn to publicly confirm facts that they have sent out to the trade so that they can collect Deposits on No Logo Product - facts they seem to be bending over backwards not to share with the general public. x.com/BeerMessiah/st…

Cllr Oisín O'Connor Maïa Dunphy Hi Cllr, Re-turn are operating the Deposit Return Scheme in a way that is leading my company to have to de-list 90%+ of the canned beers that we import. This is DEVESTATING for my company. They could solve this by making the Re-Turn logo OPTIONAL on containers. (01/12)

Cllr Oisín O'Connor Re-Turn are being OBTUSE in how and when they are replying to questions. I don't want to see this scheme fail, but I do want it to be run with integrity. x.com/BeerMessiah/st… (03/12)

Cllr Oisín O'Connor After the Transition Period, the need for a Re-Turn logo is EVEN LESS - x.com/BeerMessiah/st… (04/12)

Cllr Oisín O'Connor By pretending the logo is on most containers while in reality it is not on 33% to 50% of products, it creates an appearance that Re-Turn is trying to suppress re-cycling to maximize unclaimed Deposits. x.com/BeerMessiah/st… (05/12)

Cllr Oisín O'Connor Re-Turn could easily make the logo OPTIONAL permanently. Failing to do so makes it appear that Re-Turn is trying to benefit Big Business by reducing competition. Making the logo OPTIONAL helps small Irish businesses - x.com/BeerMessiah/st… (06/12)

Cllr Oisín O'Connor 3. Products that are facing de-listing are craft and premium beers - beers marketed with a “Drink Less, Drink Better” philosophy. If people are drinking less, by definition there is less waste. Is not the mantra - REDUCE, then Re-Use and Re-cycle. (10/12)

Cllr Oisín O'Connor I would much rather, when talking on Newstalk about beer, to be promoting Re-Turn's DRS Scheme rather than talking about how Re-turn Ossian Smyth and the GreenParty are damaging consumer choice, small Irish businesses and the environment. (11/12)

Re-turn If the Re-Turn logo is essential, why do we have a Transition Period with between 33%and 50% of No Logo containers that Re-turn is insisting Deposits are charged on. Your assertion that the logo is "essential" is disingenuous at best. Please answer my other questions.

I have found to date that not a single Green Party Ireland member/politician has engaged with me on Twitter/X about the Re-Turn Deposit Return Scheme. Ossian Smyth and Eamon Ryan have yet to reply to a tweet that they have been tagged in. Hoping Cllr Oisín O'Connor is going to be different.

Dean McGuinness Cllr Oisín O'Connor Maïa Dunphy Re-turn Is there a possibility that Re-turn are violating single market rules by impeding the flow of goods from other member states?

Instead of following the lemmings, Re-turn , lead the way. Do the right thing and make the Re-Turn Logo OPTIONAL. Show you are AGAINST allowing your scheme to be Anti-Competitive. #NOReTurnLOGO (7/8)

Re-turn Re-turn - you’ve been introduced to an APP Developer that can develop a free App allowing the public to confirm a barcode is in the scheme by scanning it on a phone. No need for the Logo. Make the Re-Turn Logo OPTIONAL permanently. #NOReTurnLOGO (8/8)

Dean McGuinness Cllr Oisín O'Connor Maïa Dunphy Re-turn Peter Hamilton my local green cllr 🚫 me for asking questions regarding the return scheme. I raised the point with @GreensKildare they have resolutely ignored me. It's a Green Party tax everything they do is designed to make peoples lives more arduous. Yet they achieve nothing.
