In the document I have here the last paragraph on page 3 refers to the status of the EU case. It is stated that full details of the programme of measures that Ireland agreed to deliver to ensure compliance with the judgment, including the costs incurred, to June 2015 by the State are set out in the enclosed document which Ireland and the then Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government was required to publish and update periodically. I do not recall seeing that information. Could we ask for it again?

In the last paragraph of the letter there is reference to 27 historic municipal landfill sites having received funding. We are told the final remediation works have been completed on 11 sites, which means quite a few have not been dealt with. Funding is earmarked this year for additional works for Kerdiffstown in Kildare, Tymoole in Meath, Rathcabbin in Tipperary, Portlaw in Waterford and Brigend-Balbane in Donegal. The work is ongoing during the course of this year and we will seek an update on it in perhaps six months' time, after the summer, to be available in September.
