I presume the Department was involved in considering applications under the Climate Action Fund. Would it be possible to send members details of what exactly is proposed? To be honest, I am totally in favour of using heat from wastewater. It is my understanding of a report from a number of years ago by Dr. David Connolly at a Danish university that half of Dublin could be heated with the amount of heated wastewater going into the River Liffey. It might have some significant environmental benefits. I would appreciate it if we could get the details. Would it have any effect on the operation of the plant? I presume it would not.
