Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I was surprised that this question was not answered by the Minister of State with responsibility for environmental protection, Deputy Batt O'Keeffe. I was interested to note his comments at the weekend opposing incineration. As this question relates to waste matters and as the Minister of State has not had an opportunity to contribute during Priority Questions today, will the Minister, Deputy Roche, inform the House whether the statement made by the Minister of State is now Government policy on incineration or does it only apply to Ringaskiddy?
