Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

Management of Sewage Sludge: Cré

2:40 pm

Mr. Percy Foster:

There are composting and anaerobic digestion facilities across the country. The key thing is to make sure there is legislative certainty in this area so that those involved will be able to invest in the addition of capacity if it is needed. It is also important to ensure the legislation and the code of good practice, which specifies six different treatment processes including composting, anaerobic digestion, drying and lime stabilisation, will be adhered to if people build these facilities. They need to be given regulatory certainty when they are making an investment in this area.
