Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle, it is gone. The photograph no longer appears here anyway, but the fact is we all know where the Minister, in his heart and in his mind, stands on this matter and I supported him and his party, nationally and locally, in his opposition to incineration. In fact, the Minister stated on 19 October last in a press statement on Poolbeg that if he was sitting at the Cabinet table he would stop incineration.
