Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Illegal Dumping: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Tom Ryan:

Yes. We were aware of two leaks, as I outlined in my opening statement. One leak was in 2012 and related to ESB marina; the other was in 2006 and related to the ESB generating station at Poolbeg. One of those was within the perimeter of a licensed facility and we dealt with that in that context and closed it out. The other one was just outside a licensed facility and we advised that it be reported to the local authority.
