Proposed Incinerator at Poolbeg: Dublin City Council (Resumed)

Mr. Owen Keegan:

I do not know. There have been many changes. It is very difficult to say. It is a hypothetical question. If we had anticipated all the difficulties and changes, a different project would have emerged, or I might have said it was a matter for the private sector entirely. In good faith I took on this project a year ago. I have had to deal with the circumstances I found. I believe I have to the best of my ability tried to get out of a very difficult situation. I am very satisfied that we have a very good project and a project that has been endorsed by the NDFA. I believe it will deliver for the Dublin region and for the State.
