Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Waste Policy and Incineration: Discussion

2:00 pm

Dr. Tom Ryan:

EPA inspectors have visited the Poolbeg site 13 times in 2018. We take a risk-based approach to enforcement on such sites. Our assessment is appropriate at this time. There are three levels of monitoring of emissions at the plant. Under the licence, the operator must provide for on-site monitoring, while the EPA periodically monitors on-site. The general environment is also monitored. The plant is well monitored.
