James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I seek the Adjournment of the Dáil under the Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the fact that the incineration of waste, in particular at large facilities, will become significantly more expensive under the proposed system of financial levies announced under the draft environment Bill by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, which could hit 600,000 tonne capacity incinerators with waste disposal levies of up to €120 per tonne, four times the current landfill levy.
