I first heard of the issue around PFAS when it came before the committee a number of weeks ago. It is used for firefighting foam and, obviously, it is a requirement at the airport. However, in the letter it states that the European Environment Agency outlines that PFAS are used across a variety of consumer products. As the Deputy mentioned, the EPA and Fingal County Council are the relevant bodies; Fingal County Council has an environmental responsibility and the EPA overarches that. It is interesting that the soil removed included the affected soil. The affected soil is being treated in an overseas facility which must be very specialised. As the DAA is a commercial semi-State company, will it have to carry the cost of this?
