Pádraic McCormack (Galway West, Fine Gael)

What is the current situation with regard to the regional waste management plans? These plans have been adopted in seven or eight regions throughout the country and a significant number of local authorities, including Galway city and county, have included the aspiration in their plan not to take the route of incineration. Where do these plans stand now? Have these been abandoned by the Government? Does the Government still insist on regional plans or is it just pretending they still exist? It is written into the county and city plans for Galway that there should not be an incinerator in Galway county. Where do the regional plans stand now?
