John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

It is important that people understand this facility has a capacity of some 600,000 tonnes and, as such, will have a major impact on the waste market. The judgment before Christmas by Mr. Justice McKechnie was in line with the contention of the waste industry, namely, that the facility should be reduced in size and that it will have the effect of being anti-competitive. The authorised officer who will look at the contract will be in the best position to make a judgment regarding all the various aspects of the case.
