John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

We face a major challenge in reaching our targets under the EU landfill directive. This directive, as a first step, will entail reducing our reliance on landfill by a further 700,000 tonnes. My ambition over time is to go even further than this and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill to no more than 10%. Once again this should be about ambition.
