Special Report No 84: Transhipment of Waste
10:00 am
Mr. John McCarthy:
There is a contract in place in terms of the haulage. A tendering process is carried out in respect of the haulage. From a cost point of view it would be better not to have to haul it at all and just take it to the closest facility, but such facilities would be in Northern Ireland where there are capacity problems. There is a haulage contract in place to take it to the closest wastewater treatment plant south of the Border, depending on where the waste is found.
