Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy has mentioned a very important matter. I am a very strong supporter of anaerobic digestion systems which I included in my waste policy last July as a treatment for waste under the waste framework directive. Developing the project requires scale and, therefore, the promotion of a co-operative system or a community-led solution whereby farmers come together for that purpose, as they did in Camphill, Ballytobin in Callan 20 years ago.
