Mr. Mark Griffin:

Whatever about promoting it, what I would say to the public is that the licensing regime operated by the EPA for incinerators, landfills and so on is at the very highest standard. In the case of Poolbeg, for example, there is a piece of technology people can use through their PC or laptop which allows them to instantly check the emissions emanating from the Poolbeg incinerator. The emissions are monitored extremely closely by the company itself, Covanta, and by the EPA.
