Mr. Sean Murray:

I do. From the point of view of clarification, it is important to note that Offaly County Council has responsibility as the national waste collection permit office. That is the waste collection part of the issue. The issue the EPA was adverting to is the facility permit. The larger facilities cannot be permitted. They must be licensed by the EPA. The smaller facilities are permitted by each local authority. The figure of 2,010 refers to the collective, it is not the individual permits. They would include locally permitted facilities where a collection permit company would be bringing the waste to those facilities. I want to draw a distinction between the collection permit and the facility permit. We do not have a role on facility permits for any local authority other than ourselves.
