Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Waste Policy and Incineration: Discussion

2:00 pm

Dr. Tom Ryan:

I acknowledge there was an incident at the plant last year. It involved one of the abatement filter systems that uses lime to clean the exhaust emissions. There was a breach of the hatches in the system and a spill of the lime that contained some of the substances filtered in the exhaust. They were contained within the facility, treated as hazardous waste, dealt with in that manner and exported for disposal.
