Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

We have no space there. There are places elsewhere where I would be happy to support a nuclear reactor. However, I am only joking. On a visit to the Netherlands recently, a Dutch politician explained to me that 17% of the electricity in the grid in Amsterdam is a by-product of incineration. Amsterdam city council is run partially by the Dutch Green Party and the Dutch Labour Party. We might be behind our cousins in those countries.
