Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

Proposed Incinerator at Poolbeg: Dublin City Council

2:55 pm

Mr. James Nolan:

Let me provide some background information. Elsam would have been the preferred bidder. Dong acquired Elsam and Covanta took a major stake in the project. Covanta was subject to the same prequalification procedure as any of the original bidders. That is information that was presented to the NDFA as part of the value for money analysis. While Covanta was not one of the original tenderers, it followed the same procurement process.
