Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

Role and Functions: Environmental Protection Agency

3:45 pm

Ms Laura Burke:

I want to be clear: we do not have expertise in saying whether it should be 40% wind energy. The EPA's role with regard to climate change is not in the area of assessing wind energy or the percentage of wind energy in the system. I do not want to start talking about something in which we do not have expertise because it would not be appropriate.

I will ask Mr. Lynott to talk about the licensing of wastewater treatment plants and Mr. O'Leary can talk about the work we have been doing on enforcement.
