This is refreshing, as I served on Dublin City Council up to the last general election and the district heating project was always firmly hooked on to the incinerator. It was also explained by Matt Twomey that district heating was always to be dependent on the incinerator, and he spoke about the experience in Copenhagen, where district heating was run off incinerators. To be honest, this appears similar to a retrofitting, given that €10 million has been spent on pipe work for a different project. Out of curiosity, what was the procedure to approve the expenditure on the project? What was the governance in relation to the expenditure of €10 million on the pipe works for district heating?
