Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

The Minister referred to the downturn in the market for recyclable material. He had a meeting before Christmas with waste management operators about that issue. He suggested on the RTE "One o'clock News" that some of the material such as paper and cardboard could be processed in some way to make fuel pellets and that it could be used as fuel and burned in one of the ESB plants in the midlands.
