Mr. Mark Griffin:

I am telling the Deputy something she knows already but this is a contested space and there have been difficulties over the years with putting in place alternative waste recovery infrastructure, the most recent one being in Cork, where the decision of An Bord Pleanála is being remitted back to it to be considered from 2017 onwards. It is a highly contested space but the reality of the situation is that we have three landfills and a waste recovery facility in Poolbeg.

The bulk of the waste from the State is managed by those four.
