Mr. Keegan has answered the question based on what Deputy Stanley said about the carbon footprint. If it is a case of going beyond the four Dublin local authorities for refuse - Mr. Keegan mentioned south and north Leinster - has he considered the transportation of that waste? Has consideration been given to shipping waste around the coast or using barges on the canals to reduce carbon footprint?
