On Monday 19th September 2016 MLAs debated the following motion:
“That this Assembly notes with concern the dangerous emission of toxic fumes and gasses into the atmosphere from the public burning of used car tyres; notes that the residue is sent to landfill and still poses an environmental danger; and calls on the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to establish a used-tyre register to help to regulate and monitor the disposal of used tyres.”
