John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

I am happy that a comprehensive review is almost completed. It will deal in detail with the best options for the future. The most important thing is that we divert biodegradable waste from landfill. That is our biggest task in the context of the Landfill Directive. The best way to do that is to issue the new food regulations. I hope Ireland will be one of the leading countries in doing so. That will divert food from restaurants, the commercial sector and homes away from landfill and get away from biodegradable waste, which causes methane and other greenhouse, gases.
