Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications
Chapter 9 - Remediation of Landfill Sites

9:30 am

Mr. Mark Griffin:

I think it is important that I say something on this because what the Chairman has read out is one side of the story. I have responded comprehensively to the comments referred to in a letter I wrote on 24 April 2019, a 16-page letter dealing with every single issue the Chairman raised, including possible alternative solutions. That letter is also in the public domain. People need to look at both in forming a view. The key point, as Mr. Cleary rightly pointed out, is that the Government approved it having regard to every single issue that the Chairman has articulated, which we dealt with in the memorandum for the Government and which are covered in the various sets of correspondence and in the published documents.
